ELO Water In Diabetes Care For Enhancement Of Blood Sugar Control (EDEN)

January 22, 2020 updated by: Changi General Hospital

ELO Water In Diabetes Care For Enhancement Of Blood Sugar Control (EDEN Study) - A Double-Blinded Randomized Controlled Trial

This double-blinded, randomised and controlled trial evaluates the efficacy of oxygen-enriched ELO drinking water as an adjuvant modality in diabetes care for enhancement of glycemic control in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Adults with type 2 diabetes will be randomized to drink 1.5 L of either ELO water or normal drinking water for 24 weeks. The primary outcome is improvement in glycaemic control.

Detailed Description

Global diabetes mellitus prevalence is rapidly increasing. In 2015, IDF reported that Singapore has 12.8% of its population diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, of which more than 90 percent are type 2 diabetes with underlying insulin resistance. With the aging population and increasing prevalence of obesity and sedentary lifestyles, the prevalence is expected to continue to rise.

In vitro studies demonstrated that hypoxia creates a state of insulin resistance through HIF (Hypoxia Inducible Factor) transcription factor expression in adipocytes. Insulin sensitivity was shown to improve in type 2 diabetes patients and overweight non diabetic patients placed in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber.Increased water intake has been associated with lower HbA1c in the general population , and also with lower post-prandial glucose in type 2 diabetic individuals.

This study aims to evaluate the effects of 1.5 L daily of ELO water, a drinking water enriched with molecular oxygen in a stable form, with a similar volume of bottled drinking water, on glycaemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes in Singapore.
