What this study is about

Researchers are testing whether a ketogenic diet affects how well children with type 1 diabetes manage their blood sugar. The trial will compare the effects of a ketogenic diet to a standard diet, looking at factors like insulin response and overall health. Participants will receive support for following either diet and will have regular check-ins.
