Effects of Selenium Towards Type 2 Diabetes

June 11, 2024 updated by: Yu Kang, MD, Peking Union Medical College Hospital

Effects of Selenium Nutritional Supplement of Glucose, Nutritional Status, and Clinical Outcome Among Type 2 Diabetes Patients

According to the prevalence of non-communicable chronic diseases and aging population characteristics, this study is exploring the coexist effects combined with various dimensions: nutritional functions, metabolic homeostasis, inflammation and immunity by the selenium supplementation among type 2 diabetes, which based on insulin resistance, beta-cell function disorders, and body metabolic homeostasis disorders of the mechanism of type 2 diabetes by lifecycle so that could provide with a totally new and safe nutritional method for type 2 diabetes prevention and diagnosis.

Detailed Description

This study will last 16 weeks. There will be 300 subjects enrolled by random lottery methods in this randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical study by control group, low dose group and high dose group. During the study processing, follow-up visit by call, questionnaires, blood and stool collection, and functional testing will appear. Statistical analysis would be analysis according to the actual outcome of study.
