NCT01055080

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether weaning to whey-based hydrolysed formula or essentially bovine insulin free whey-based FINDIA formula instead of standard cow's milk based formula is effective in the prevention of type 1 diabetes associated beta-cell autoimmunity in children at genetic risk of type 1 diabetes.
