Participant Flow

Four centers screened 79 participants were screened between August 2010 and May 2012. Participants aged 11-36 years, diagnosed with type 1 diabetes within the past 6 months were recruited. 9 participants were not randomized as 7 were deemed ineligible and 2 were lost to follow-up.

At a screening visit, participants underwent procedures to establish that all inclusion criteria were met and none of the exclusion criteria were met. All participants and if applicable, guardians provided written informed consent/assent at screening.
