Gluten intake is not associated with islet autoimmunity or progression to type 1 diabetes in older infants and toddlers at risk of the disease, a new study shows.

The Diabetes Autoimmunity Study in the Young (DAISY) which followed more than 1900 US children from 9 months to age 14 years, showed no association between age at introduction of foods containing wheat and barley and type 1 diabetes.
