Researchers have identified a protein pattern that, already at birth, looks markedly different in those who later go on to develop type 1 diabetes. The findings show that a combination of several factors during pregnancy affects disease risk.

Damage to the eyes and kidneys are serious complications in diabetes. After following one specific patient group, researchers at ¸£Àû¼§ are able to show what levels should be targeted during treatment.

A small pilot study in which researchers attempted to slow attacks mounted by the immune system on insulin-producing cells in type 1 diabetes has given promising results.

Disturbed gut flora during the first years of life is associated with diagnoses such as autism and ADHD later in life. This is according to a study led by researchers at the University of Florida and LiU and published in the journal Cell.

Children with a high genetic risk of developing type 1 diabetes have different gut microbiomes than children with a low risk, according to a new study.

Did the bacteria in your guts when you were a baby impact your risk of future disease? We have talked to researcher studying whether diseases such as type 1 diabetes and allergy could be prevented by promoting the right bacteria early in life.

Contrary to previous belief, infants who receive cow’s milk under the age of six months do not run a higher risk of developing type 1 diabetes. This has been shown by TRIGR, a major international study in which LiU researchers have participated.

A major new study on the association between blood glucose levels and risks of organ impairment in people with type 1 diabetes can make a vital contribution to diabetes care, in the researchers’ view.

Johnny Ludvigsson reflects in an editorial article in the New England Journal of Medicine on the progress and challenges in type 1 diabetes research. "It's an honor and nice that LiU is also recognized," says Johnny.

A study has followed individuals for more than 30 years after the onset of type 1 diabetes. The results show that the levels of long-term blood sugar can be used to accurately determine the risk of developing eye- and kidney complications.
