The drug also reduced homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance ( HOMA-IR ) index , systolic blood pressure , and diastolic blood pressure among participants with T2DM .
The changes in hemoglobin A1c ( HbA1c ) , low-density lipoprotein cholesterol , and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were negligible .
Subgroup analysis comparing the resveratrol supplementation doses of < 100 mg/d versus ≥ 100 mg/d revealed a significant difference in fasting plasma glucose .
In particular , the latter dose presented more favorable results .
This meta- analysis provides evidence that supplementation of resveratrol may benefit management of T2DM
Although the regular consumption of resveratrol has been known to improve glucose homeostasis and reverse insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes mellitus ( T2DM ) , the reported results are inconsistent .
Thus , we aim ed to assess the effects of resveratrol on glycemic control and insulin sensitivity among patients with T2DM .
Resveratrol Promotes Foot Ulcer Size Reduction in Type 2 Diabetes Patients
Objective . The effect of a proprietary formulation of trans-resveratrol ( t-RSV ) on manifestations of diabetic foot syndrome ( DFS ) was studied in type 2 diabetic patients with newly diagnosed diabetic foot ulcers . Method . Placebo-controlled , examiner-blinded , parallel-group r and omized controlled pilot clinical trial ( ACTRN Clinical Trial Registry number 12610000629033 ) involving 24 patients with DFS ( 15 males and 9 females , average age of 56.4 ± 9.1 years ) divided into the  placebo and RSV-treatment groups was performed . 50 mg of t-RSV or placebo capsules was given to each patient twice a day over a 60-day time period . Results . Reduction in the parameters reflecting diabetic ulcer size was more profound in the RSV group as compared to placebo . RSV-treated patients also had a marginally improved performance in the foot pressure test . A statistically significant decline in the plasma fibrinogen level , but not CRP , was also found in the RSV-treated patients . Some improvement in the plasma lipid profile and fasting glucose levels were not related to RSV-treatment , since they have been seen on both the RSV and placebo groups , revealing the effectiveness of medical supervision and education in the newly diagnosed patients with DFS . Conclusion . t-RSV supplementation promotes reduction of the foot ulcer size and reduces plasma fibrinogen level in type 2 diabetic patients
