Impacto de la suplementación de vitaminas C, D y zinc en la respuesta inmune e inflamatoria en la diabetes tipo 2

This study focuses on understanding the impact of Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Zinc supplementation on the immune and inflammatory processes in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes in Mexico. The goal is to see if these supplements can improve the management of diabetes, a condition where the body struggles to regulate blood sugar levels. This research is important as it could potentially lead to new ways of managing diabetes, enhancing the quality of life for those affected by this condition. During the 24-week study, participants are randomly assigned to either a supplement group or a placebo group. The supplement group receives a daily dose of 1000 mg Vitamin C, 400 IU Vitamin D, and 10 mg of Zinc. Neither the participants nor the researchers know who is receiving the supplements or the placebo, ensuring the results are unbiased. The study measures changes in blood sugar levels, glycosylated Hemoglobin (Hb1Ac), insulin resistance, and plasma insulin at the start, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks. These measurements help determine if the supplements are effective in managing diabetes.
