For 8 weeks, the first group (30 patients) received 200 \u00b5g of selenium per day and the second group (30 patients) received a placebo. Fasting blood samples were taken at the start of the study and after 8 weeks of intervention. After 8 weeks, selenium supplementation resulted in a significantly improved glucose metabolism and a significant reduction of inflammation markers compared to patients in the placebo group.
