This study shows that HFD protects NOD mice from autoimmune diabetes and preserves beta-cell mass and function through alterations in gut microbiome, increased T-regulatory cells and decreased insulitis. Further studies into the exact mechanism of HFD-mediated prevention of diabetes in NOD mice could potentially lead to interventions to prevent or delay T1D development in humans.
