Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The outcome is the delta of plasma concentration of glycated hemoglobin ( final value - baseline value, in %), measured by immunoturbidimetric assay in plasma samples. The between groups expected difference is 1.1%.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Delta of fasting glucose (mg/dL); enzymatic and colorimetric method. Levels of acute phase inflammatory markers: C-reactive protein, interleukin-1, interleukin-6, TNF-alpha (Luminex® Human Ultrasensitive ). Delta lipid profile: plasma concentration of total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides. Adverse events rate.
