Blood samples were taken at the start of the study and after 4 months of supplementation to assess various parameters in the blood. Among others, the results revealed that the administered combination in group A had significant effects on fasting glucose and long-term glucose levels when compared with the other two groups and with levels at the start of this trial. In conclusion, supplementation with multivitamin\/mineral preparation and zinc had beneficial metabolic effects in diabetes patients, including several improved glucose levels.
