Objectives: This study is to investigate the effect of oral Vitamins combined (A, C, and E) with metformin on the levels of fasting blood sugar (FBS), postprandial blood sugar (PPBS), hemoglobin (HbA1c), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in Type 2 diabetic patients. Methods: A total of 32 patients with Type 2 diabetes were divided randomly into A and B groups, i.e., 16 per each group. Group A received metformin only twice a day while Group B received one tablet of Antox and metformin twice a day for 3 months. FBS, PPBS, HbA1c, TC, TG, LDL, and HDL were measured before and after the dose, and the results were analyzed statistically. Results: A significant decreases in FBS, PPBS, HbA1c, TC, TG, and LDL whereas results showed increasing significance in HDL level that seen in the patients of Group B which received Antox and metformin compared to the group which received metformin only. In conclusion, the results indicate that daily consumption of supplementary vitamins with metformin leads to improving blood glucose and lipids in patients with Type 2 diabetes and reducing the risk of complications. Hence, the dose can be used combined Vitamins A, C, and E with metformin in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes by maintaining good glycemic control.
Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effect of antioxidants (Micronutrients) with Metformin on the levels of sugar and lipids in type 2 diabetic patients. Methods: The study has been conducted on 32 persons having the disease of type 2 diabetes. The patients were divided randomly into two groups labeled as B and C. All patients in each group have been taking metformin and additional specific treatment has been provided to group B. The samples have been collected before taking medicine (Antioxidants) and after three months of taking it. Blood samples were collected after 12 hours of overnight fasting where blood samples were drawn before and after a meal from the patients to measure levels of the sugar and lipids. The method that has been used for doing these investigations is Kit Spinreact. The results were analyzed statistically. Results: A significant decrease in FBS, PPBS, HbA1c, TC, TG, LDL and VLDL has been observed whereas the results showed increasing significance in HDL level in the patients of group B which received antioxidants (Muvit Gold) and Metformin compared to group C which received Metformin only. In conclusion, the results indicate that daily consumption of supplementary antioxidants (micronutrient) with Metformin leads to improving the level of blood glucose and lipids in patients with Type 2 diabetes and reducing the risk of complications. Hence, the dose of combining micronutrient with metformin can be used in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes by maintaining good glycemic control.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
