Effect of EPA-DHA Supplement, Life Style Modification Standard Treatment on Clinical Outcome Lipid Membrane Composition in Type 2 Diabetes

Effect of EPA-DHA Supplementation, Life Style Modification or Standard Treatment on Clinical Outcome and Lipid Membrane Composition in Type 2 Diabetic Patients: a 3 Months Perspective Randomized Pilot Study.

The aim of the present study is: to examine some of the mechanisms by which a change in life style alone or supplemented with a diet supplemented in n-3 PUFA, and associated with this computerized life style regulation reduces the development of diabetic complication in a small population based study.
