Study Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test a drug known as DFMO in people with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * Does it reduce stress on the cells that make insulin? * Does it preserve what is left of the body's insulin production? Participants will take either DFMO or a placebo (looks like DFMO but has no active ingredients) two times a day for about 6 months. Participants will have 6 in person visits and 1 phone visit over a period of 12 months. Visits will include blood draws urine collection and other tests.

Primary Outcome

Primary endpoint defining clinical efficacy will be based on mixed-meal stimulated C-peptide area under the curve (AUC; in arbitrary units) in the treatment group compared to placebo after 6 months of DFMO treatment
