Exploring the Effects of Dietary Intake on Gut Microbiome Diversity and Composition of Older Adults with Type 1 Diabetes: A Pilot Study
We found statistically significant evidence suggesting that the gut microbiome of older adults with T1D may be modulated by macronutrient, fiber, and fructose intake. Similar trends between fiber intake differences and significantly different microbial community structure have been found in younger populations. Together with the literature, our other findings suggest that macronutrient, fiber, and fructose intakes may impact the gut microbiome differently in older adults with T1D.
