Summary

A randomized, controlled clinical trial at Cairo University Medical Clinic examined the effect of a dietary supplement containing a combination of B vitamins (B1, B6 and B12) on patients with type 1 diabetes. After only 3 months, this dietary supplement led to a significant decrease in fasting blood glucose levels, long-term blood glucose (HbA1c), cholesterol, triglyceride and homocysteine levels. Particularly noteworthy about this study was the fact that it was conducted in children and adolescents who had been suffering from diabetes for more than 5 years and who showed early signs of diabetes-related kidney disease. Further details can be found in the study.
