OBJECTIVES: To investigate the mechanism of glycemic control in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) following high-strength probiotics supplementation by assessing immune-regulatory markers.

METHODS: In this single-centre randomised double-blinded placebo-controlled study, children with new-onset T1D on regular insulin therapy were randomised into probiotic or placebo groups with 30 children each. The probiotics group received oral powder of Vivomixx®, and the placebo group received corn starch for six months. The primary outcome parameters included induced T regulatory cells (i-Tregs) percentage, insulin autoantibodies (IAA), insulinoma associated 2 autoantibodies (IA2), glutamic acid decarboxylase autoantibodies (GAD 65) and plasma interleukin-10 (IL-10) levels. The secondary outcome variables were changes in plasma C-peptide levels and glycemic control parameters.

RESULTS: Twenty-three children in the placebo group and 27 in the probiotic group completed the study. There was a significant increase in the percentage of iTregs (3.40 in the probiotic vs. 2.46 in the placebo group; p = 0.034). Median glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels significantly decreased from 68 mmol/mol (8.35%) in the placebo group to 60 mmol/mol (7.55%) in the probiotic group (p = 0.017). Median C-peptide levels were significantly higher in probiotics (0.72 ng/ml) vs. placebo group (0.11 ng/ml) (p = 0.036). The plasma IL-10 levels significantly increased in the probiotic group after six months of treatment (p = 0.002).

CONCLUSIONS: The high-strength probiotics improved the immunoregulatory milieu, thereby preserving the beta-cell function and better glycemic control.
