Background: Non-genetic factors like microbial dysbiosis may be contributing to the increasing incidence/progression of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).
Objectives: To analyse the gut microbiota profile in Indian children with T1DM and its effect on glycaemic control.
Methodology: Faecal samples of 29 children with T1DM were collected and faecal microbial DNA was extracted and subjected to 16S rRNA (ribosomal RNA) sequencing and further analysis.
Results: The dominant phyla in children with T1DM were Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes. Butyrate-producing bacteria and showed a significant negative correlation with the glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1C) levels ( < 0.05). and were important negative predictors of glycaemic control ( < 0.05).
Conclusion: Our study suggests that Indian children with T1DM have a distinct gut microbiome taxonomic composition and that short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria like and (butyrate-producing) may play an important role in the glycaemic control of subjects with T1DM.

Objective: To determine the degree of diabetes-specific distress in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and its association with demographic characteristics, family and educational situation indicators, glycemic control, complications, and disease duration.
Study Design: A cross-sectional study (Jan-Mar 2025) in Argentina and Chile included 143 T1DM patients (8-17 years, ≥1-year duration). Diabetes distress was measured using the Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID) questionnaire (0-80; high distress ≥40).

Emerging evidence suggests that alterations in the gut microbiota may play a significant role in the development of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), particularly during childhood, when the immune and metabolic systems are still maturing. This systematic review aims to synthesize recent findings on the composition, diversity, and functional characteristics of gut microbiota in children with T1DM. A comprehensive literature search was conducted on PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar for studies published between January 2019 and July 2025.

Mauriac syndrome (MS) is a rare condition linked to inadequate glycemic control in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and has also rarely been reported in patients with neonatal diabetes. MS manifests as growth failure, delayed puberty, cushingoid features, and hepatomegaly. The condition can be associated with complications like dyslipidemia, retinopathy, and nephropathy.

Etiology of childhood acute leukemia is largely unknown, though environmental factors and infection-related immune responses may contribute. Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), an autoimmune disease also with onset primarily in childhood, shares risk factors with leukemia, including childhood infection patterns. Epidemiological evidence suggests a link between T1DM and leukemia, but the extent of this association remains unclear.

Background: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and chronic kidney disease(CKD) due to T1DM pose a substantial global health burden. However, the epidemiology of T1DM and CKD due to T1DM in children aged 0-14 years remains poorly quantified worldwide. We aimed to evaluate the global burden and trends of these conditions in this pediatric population.
