New research on Type 1 Diabetes and Fecal (Poop) Transplants

Researchers in Europe and the US have published results suggesting that the progression of type 1 diabetes may be slowed by fecal transplants (yes, swapping poop)

FMT halts decline in endogenous insulin production in recently diagnosed patients with T1D in 12 months after disease onset. Several microbiota-derived plasma metabolites and bacterial strains were linked to preserved residual beta cell function. This study provides insight into the role of the intestinal gut microbiome in T1D.

That is from Gut Microbiota Research, link to article here
