Type II Diabetes
Conditions
Brief summary
At present, diabetic patients mainly use drugs to control blood sugar. However, drugs have side effects and the control effect varies among individuals. Even if diabetic patients can control their blood sugar well, long-term medication will still cause a series of complications, including retinopathy, nephropathy, diabetic foot, heart disease, etc. Vascular disease issues, etc. This study will focus on the changes in HbA1c and blood sugar in patients with confirmed diabetes after taking Dibifree® food supplement.

Intervention model description
Baseline physical examinations were conducted at the time of inclusion (V0), including assessments of fasting and postprandial blood sugar, HbA1c, body fat, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (CRE), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (GOT), and Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase (GPT). These parameters were routinely monitored in the third month (V3), fourth month (V4), and seventh month (V7). No adjustments were made to the diabetic routine medications during the clinical trial period.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Concentration of HbA1c | HbA1c was measured at baseline (V0) and during follow-up visits at months 3 (V3), 4 (V4), and 7 (V7) after intervention. | Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels were measured at baseline (V0) and routinely monitored at the third (V3), fourth (V4), and seventh (V7) months. For longitudinal analysis, repeated measures were evaluated using two-way ANOVA followed by Sidak's multiple comparisons test to assess time and treatment effects. Data are presented as mean ± SD. All statistical analyses were performed using GraphPad Prism 10 (GraphPad Software, San Diego, CA, USA). All data were considered statistically significant at p ≤ 0.05. |
| Body Weight and BMI | Body weight and BMI were measured at baseline (V0) and at the end of the 7-month intervention (V7). | Changes in body weight and BMI between baseline (V0) and month 7 (V7) were analyzed using an unpaired t-test. Statistical analyses were conducted using GraphPad Prism 10 (GraphPad Software, San Diego, CA, USA), with p ≤ 0.05 considered statistically significant. |

| Kidney Function Parameters: BUN, Creatinine, and eGFR | Kidney function parameters measured at baseline (V0) and during follow-up visits at months 3 (V3), 4 (V4), and 7 (V7) after intervention. | Kidney Function Parameters were measured at baseline (V0) and routinely monitored at the third (V3), fourth (V4), and seventh (V7) months.

| Liver Function Parameters: GOT and GPT | Liver function parameters measured at baseline (V0) and during follow-up visits at months 3 (V3), 4 (V4), and 7 (V7) after intervention. | Liver Function Parameters were measured at baseline (V0) and routinely monitored at the third (V3), fourth (V4), and seventh (V7) months.
