About this study

Official title: GABA From Medical Nutrition to Pancreatic Beta-cell Regeneration

GABA(gamma-Aminobutyric acid) may be used for decreasing anti-gad antibodies and leads beta-cell regeneration.

Read the detailed description

100 patients with type I diabetes were in 2 groups, had been monitored in a private clinic, number 50 each group, with 30 females and 20 males after the written consent of all patients.

All the patients Lied between 18-25 years old with 5-10 years of diabetes onset.

The first group was on insulin therapy in the form of toujeo once daily and Novorapid 3 times daily and they received GABA nutritional supplement 750mg per day.

The second group was only on insulin injection in the form of toujeo once daily and Novorapid 3 times daily.

In the first group;the investigator measured fasting c peptide levels before and after 6 months of GABA 750mg daily.Also,the investigator measured anti gad antibodies before and after 6 months of treatment.

In the second group,the investigator measured c peptide levels and anti-gad antibodies at the beginning of the trial and after 6 months.
