Gut microbiome shifts in people with type 1 diabetes are associated with glycaemic control: an INNODIA study

DiabetologiaPublished Prospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Our data revealed associations between the gut microbiome composition and the disease progression in individuals with recent-onset type 1 diabetes. Future mechanistic studies as well as animal studies and human trials are needed to further validate the significance and causality of these associations.

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Faecalibacterium prausnitzii relative abundance inversely associated with HbA1c at diagnosis
p=0.0019
19 UFM individuals diagnosed with T1D had increased Sutterella sp. KLE1602 abundance vs undiagnosed UFM individuals
p=1.2 × 10-4

Observational data: associations, not effects.
