The patients were allocated to two intervention groups taking zinc and vitamin E supplements or a placebo (27 women in each group) for 6 weeks. It was shown that participants who received the zinc plus vitamin E supplements had significantly lower insulin levels and improved parameters involved in lipid (fat) metabolism. Overall, zinc and vitamin E supplementation significantly improved insulin metabolism and lipid parameters in women with gestational diabetes.
