Current or prior (within 6 months) treatment that is known to alter the natural history of T1D or immunologic status, including high-dose inhaled, extensive topical or systemic glucocorticoids. 7. Participation in an investigational drug trial within the last six weeks prior to screening. 8. Current or prior (within 14 days of Visit 1 MMTT) use of any medication known to influence glucose tolerance (e.g., atypical antipsychotics, diphenylhydantoin, thiazide, or other potassium-depleting diuretics, β-adrenergic blockers, niacin). 9.

Past or current medical problems or findings from physical examination or laboratory testing, which, in the opinion of the investigator, may pose additional risks from participation in the study, may interfere with the participant’s ability to comply with study requirements or that may affect the quality or interpretation of the data obtained from the study. 16. Current diagnosed mental illness (e.g., severe depression), current diagnosed or self-reported drug, or alcohol abuse that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with the participant’s ability to comply with study requirements. 17.
