MIDDAS-Type1

This study will test two different low-calorie diets aimed at helping people with type 1 diabetes lose weight and improve their blood glucose control.

The study will look at daily and intermittent low-calorie diets that have already been proven to be successful to help people with type 2 diabetes lose weight and improve blood glucose control.

The findings of this initial study will be used to inform further research.

It is being carried out by a diabetes specialist team at Wythenshawe Hospital, part of Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust.
