The child must sign and date the Child Assent Form or provide oral assent, if required according to local requirements. * Previously diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus (based on clinical judgement and supported by laboratory analysis as per local guidelines) prior to study enrollment by WHO/ADA diagnostic criteria for glucose levels (FPG = 7.0 mmol/L \[126 mg/dL\]) or plasma glucose levels 2-hours after 75-gm oral glucose load of = 11.1 mmol/L (200 mg/dL) or a casual plasma glucose \>200 mg/dL with symptoms. * Presence of one or more of the following prior to randomization: antibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), islet cell autoantibody (ICA), protein tyrosine phosphatase-like protein antibodies (IA-2), Insulin autoantibodies (IAA), zinc transporter 8 antibodies (ZnT8). * Treatment with insulin prior to the screening visit, as judged by the Investigator. * Ability and willingness to adhere to the protocol, including performing self-measured plasma glucose profiles (Subject and LAR(s) should be evaluated as a unit), as judged by the Investigator. Exclusion Criteria: * Clinically significant abnormal screening CBC and chemistries (excluding glucose), as judged by the Investigator. * Clinically significant screening creatinine elevations above Grade 1, as judged by the Investigator. * History of chronic infectious disease, such as HIV or untreated or active hepatitis at the time of the screening visit, as judged by the Investigator. * History of tuberculosis, positive interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA, also known as the QuantiFERON-TB test), including history of a positive test with a high reactivity to mycobacteria of non-tuberculosis variety, prior to randomization (subjects should not be excluded based on history of false positive tests), as judged by the investigator. * Current treatment with glucocorticoids (other than intermittent nasal or eye steroids, asthma inhaler, or topical steroids), or disease or condition likely to require high dose steroid or immunosuppressive therapy at the time of the screening visit, as judged by the Investigator. This does not include replacement therapies for conditions such as growth hormone deficiencies, Addison's disease, or hypothyroidism. * Simultaneous participation in any other clinical trial while enrolled in this clinical trial or participation in another clinical trial within 28 days before the screening visit. Note: Clinical trials do not include non-interventional studies. * Previous participation in the treatment group in biologic or drug intervention trials for Type 1 Diabetes such as anti-CD3. * Other active chronic conditions, diseases, and/or treatments associated with increased risk of serious side effects and/or morbidities at the time of the screening visit, as judged by the Investigator. This includes conditions that increase the risk of infections, current immunosuppressive therapies for other autoimmune diseases, or patients with a previous history of severe burns. * Chronic treatment with aspirin \> 160 mg/day or chronic, daily NSAIDs at the time of the screening visit, as judged by the Investigator. * Current treatment with chronic antibiotics that interfere with BCG viability at the time of the screening visit, as judged by the Investigator. * History of recurrent ketoacidosis with hospitalizations due to non-compliance at the time of the screening visit, as judged by the Investigator. * History of keloid formation at the time of the screening visit, as judged by the Investigator. * History or evidence of chronic kidney disease (serum creatinine \> 1.5mg/dL), significant protein in the urine, or other significant and/or active diabetes related complication at the time of the screening visit, as judged by the Investigator. * Screening BMI of \<5th percentile or \>95th percentile. * Screening blood pressure \>90th percentile for their age and sex. * Screening temperature \>99.8 F. * Screening heart rate outside of 50-120 bpm. * History of active proliferative diabetic retinopathy at the time of the screening visit, as judged by the Investigator. * History of type 2 diabetes or severe obesity at the time of the screening visit, as judged by the Investigator. * Age of diabetes onset \<1. * Monogenic diabetes at the time of the screening visit. * Diabetes secondary to cystic fibrosis at the time of the screening visit. * Diabetes lacking at least 1 diabetes-specific autoantibody prior to randomization. * History of significant neuropathy, myocardial infarcts, active psychiatric disease that might preclude travel and long-term participation, dementia, foot ulcers, severe diabetes non-compliance, amputations, or kidney disease at the time of the screening visit, as judged by the Investigator. * History of medical condition(s) that may impact red blood cell turnover such as polycethemia, chronic anemia, vitamin E infusion, transfusion, sickle cell or thalassemia, vitamin C injections, lead poisoning, uremia, or asplenia at the time of the screening visit, as judged by the Investigator. * Female who is pregnant, breast-feeding or intends to become pregnant or is of child-bearing potential and not using adequate contraceptive methods (adequate contraceptive measures as required by local regulation or practice) at the time of the screening visit, as judged by the Investigator. * Living with someone who is immunosuppressed and/or at high risk for infectious diseases (for example, HIV+ or taking immunosuppressive medications for any reason) at the time of the screening visit, as judged by the Investigator. * Current participation in the Phase I or II BCG clinical trial or other immunotherapy diabetes clinical trials at the time of the screening visit, as judged by the Investigator. * Currently on or planning to take any type 2 diabetes drug or oral blood sugar lowering medication, as judged by the Investigator * History of the following at the time of the screening visit, as judged by the Investigator: prior BCG vaccination, positive T-spot tuberculosis test indicating active TB, or a T-spot test showing significant Mycobacteria exposure and/or load that would cause a more severe vaccination site inflammation (subjects should not be excluded based on history of false positive tests). * Not born in the United States. * Known or suspected hypersensitivity to trial products or related products at the time of the screening visit, as judged by the Investigator. * Planning to start or change dosage of a medication known to affect glucose metabolism (e.g. thyroid hormones, corticosteroids), as judged by the Investigator, within 14 days prior to the screening visit. * Any condition, which, in the opinion of the Investigator, might jeopardize the Subject's safety or compliance with the protocol * Diagnosis of malignant neoplasms within the last five years prior to the screening visit * Current hypoglycemic unawareness or recurrent severe hypoglycemic episodes at the time of the screening visit, as judged by the Investigator. * More than one episode of diabetic ketoacidosis requiring hospitalization within the last 90 days prior to the screening. * Treatment with any medication for the indication of diabetes other than stated in the inclusion criteria in a period of 90 days before screening, as judged by the Investigator. * History of lupus at the time of the screening visit.
