Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Main Objective: To determine the effect of metformin on fasting and postprandial GLP-1 and GIP secretion in adults with T1DM.;<br> Secondary Objective: 1. To determine the effect of metformin on glycemic variability in adults with T1DM.<br> 2. To determine the effect of metformin on plasma amino acids and metabolites profile in adults with T1DM.<br> 3. To determine the effect of metformin on inflammation in adults with T1DM.<br> 4. To evaluate the effect of metformin on the microbiome in adults with T1DM.<br> ;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint will be glucagon like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) secretion following a mixed meal.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 36 months
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 36 months;<br> Secondary end point(s): •Change in glycemic variability<br> •Change in plasma amino acids and metabolites profiling<br> •Change in plasma markers of inflammation and adhesion molecules<br> •Change in genes expression related to inflammation and endothelial function<br> •Change in the intestinal microbiome<br>
