Inclusion Criteria: Subjects who meet all of the following criteria are eligible to participate in this study: Subject or Legally accepted representative (LAR) able to understand and provide signed informed consent. Assent is also required of adolescents and children. LAR of subjects ≤ 17 years sign the "Information Leaflet and ICF for the Parent/Legal Guardian of Minor Subject". Adolescents from 10-15 years sign "Children Assent form". Adolescents from 16-17 years sign "Adolescent Assent form". Age ≥10 and ≤ 17 years. Diagnosis of type 1 diabetes within 8 weeks before randomization (V0 visit) based on positive autoantibody (minimum 1 among: GADA, IA2A, ZnT4, IAA) and symptoms of type 1 diabetes according to the criteria of the Polish Diabetes Association (1 of the following): symptoms of diabetes and blood glucose ≥ 200 mg / dl (≥ 11.1 mmol/l), when no symptoms or when diabetes symptoms are present and random glucose <200 mg/dl (<11.1 mmol/l) - then confirmation of the diagnosis is fasting blood glucose in 2 measurements ≥ 126 mg/dl (≥ 7.0 mmol/l); each test must be performed on a different day, in the absence of symptoms of hyperglycaemia and random glycaemia ≥ 200 mg/dl (11.1 mmol/l), fasting glucose ≥ 126 mg/dl (7.0 mmol/l) is a confirmation of the diagnosis, if once or twice fasting blood glucose is 100-125 mg / dl (5.6-6.9 mmol/l), or if fasting blood glucose is below 100 mg/dl (5.6 mmol/l) ) exists, If there is a reasonable suspicion of impaired glucose tolerance or diabetes mellitus, an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) should be performed. At the 120th minute of the OGTT, blood glucose ≥ 200 mg/dl (11.1 mmol/l) confirms the diagnosis of diabetes. Male or nonpregnant and nonlactating female who is abstinent or agrees to use effective contraceptive methods throughout the course of the study. Acceptable birth control methods are the following: Intrauterine device in place for at least 3 months. Use of condom or diaphragm with spermicide for at least 14 days prior to the Visit 0 visit and through study completion. Stable hormonal contraceptive for at least 2 months prior to the Visit 0 and continuing through study completion. Females (menstruating) must have a negative urine beta-human chorionic gonadotropin hormone (hCG) pregnancy test at Visit 0. Exclusion Criteria: Subjects who meet any of the following criteria are not eligible to participate in this study: Age under 10 or over 17. Lack of consent of at least one the guardian LAR to participate in the study. Treatment with any oral or injected anti-diabetic medications other than insulin. The Subject or close Subject's family history, past or present of allergic or hypersensitivity reactions to fenofibrate or any of the excipients (including patients with hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, total lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption). Severe hypersensitivity reaction to any other drug. Subjects with current or history of clinically significant renal impairment. Subjects with current or history of clinically significant hepatic impairment. Subjects with or history of significant gastrointestinal disease including celiac disease, gastroparesis, another disorder of intestinal absorption or motility. Subject with current or history of gall bladder disease. Present or history of chronic or acute pancreatitis, except acute pancreatitis due to severe hypertriglyceridaemia. Photosensitivity or phototoxic reactions after the use of fibrates or chemically related substances, e.g. ketoprofen. Subjects who tested positive for pregnancy at screening and V0 visit or who are currently breastfeeding. Low blood albumin defined as clinically significant by investigator. Patients with pre-disposing factors for myopathy and/or rhabdomyolysis, including personal and familial history of hereditary muscular disorders. Unexplained persistent elevated creatine phosphokinase levels considered clinically significant by the investigator. The presence of circumstances that the Investigator considers problematic when obtaining informed consent or meeting the study guidelines, or that may invalidate the interpretation of test results or expose Subjects to unnecessary risk. Inability or unwillingness to comply with study procedures. Any medical condition or treatment the Investigator believes may expose the Subject to unnecessary risk during the study. Participation in interventional or other drug research studies which could affect the objectives of this study.
