Specifically the study used cod liver oil, which also contains other vitamins. The entire abstract can be read here.

The final outcome of the study was that there was a definite decreased risk of getting Type 1 Diabetes with proper Omega 3 supplementation. This was a dietary study and so other factors were controlled for including Vitamin D. Originally I suspected Vitamin D caused the decreased risk due to this study about Vitamin D. But Vitamin D was controlled for in this mot resent study which simply analyzed dietary intake.
