Abstract :

Background: Diabetes mellitus(DM2) is one of the common metabolic disorders. According to previous studies, vitamin-E may have a positive effect on glycaemic control in diabetes patients. Objectives: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of vit-E on fasting blood glucose(FBS), post prandial blood glucose (PPBS), lipid profile in type 2 DM. Materials and Methods: the study included 80 DM2 patients. Among them 50 were randomly selected to supplement with vit-E capsule orally (1000 IU/day) and 30 age-matched patients were supplemented with placebo for 6weeks. FBS, PPBS, Total Cholesterol, Triglyceride, Low density Lipoprotein, High Density Lipoprotein, Very Low Density Lipoprotein were measured before and after supplementation and results were analyzed. Results & Conclusion: A significant decrease in FBS, TG, LDL was seen in group supplemented with 1000 I.U. vit-E /day, which indicate vit-E may be beneficial in DM2 patients.
