Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of antioxidant vitamins and magnesium supplementation on fasting blood glucose and lipids in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: This study is a unequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. Seventy- one subjects with type 2 diabetes who were recruited from home visiting clients of a public health center, completed the trial. The experimental group entered a 12-week treatment period with antioxidant vitamins and magnesium and the control group with no antioxidant vitamins and magnesium.
Results: Serum level of fasting blood glucose decreased from 134.7㎎/㎗ to 125.0㎎/㎗ and total-cholesterol decreased from 215.5㎎/㎗ to 198.2㎎/㎗ in the experimental group. No changes in fasting blood glucose and total-cholesterol were demonstrated in the control group.
Conclusions: A short-term supplementation with antioxidant vitamins and magnesium can reduce fasting blood glucose and total-cholesterol in patients with type 2 diabetes. The continuous effect of this supplementation and the beneficial effect on the prevention of diabetes complication still needs to be demonstrated.
