June 28, 2018 updated by: Catalysis SL

Evaluation of Nutritional Supplement DIAMEL® Combined With Insulin in Diabetic Foot Ulcer

Diabetic foot syndrome is one of the most frequent complications in type 2 diabetic patients. The present work is carried out with the objective of evaluating the use of DIamel combined with insulin in diabetic foot ulcers. Method. Phase II clinical trial. A study group was created that receives the active product and another control group that receives a placebo. Double-blind study with a monthly follow-up for the first 6 months and then quarterly until the end of 1 year. Complementary tests are performed every 6 months to evaluate metabolic, lipid and renal function control.
