Brief Summary:
This study is evaluating the impact of antioxidant supplements on blood sugar control and cardiovascular risk factors in adults over the age of 50 with at 3 months of Type 2 diabetes. The investigators hypothesize that daily supplementation with a multiple micronutrient formulation containing dietary and endogenous antioxidants in combination with usual care will reduce markers of oxidative stress and inflammation in Type 2 diabetes.
Detailed Description:
This study is evaluating the impact of an antioxidant and micronutrient supplement on markers of oxidative stress and inflammation as well as on blood sugar control in adults over the age of 50 who have had Type 2 diabetes for at least 3 months. The purpose of this study is to see if these antioxidants reduce the oxidative and inflammatory state seen in patients with Type 2 diabetes as well as whether or not they make it easier to control blood sugar, affect the number and dosage of diabetic medications, and/or reduce the risk factors involved in long-term diabetes related complications such as in lipid profile and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT).
