About this study

Official title: "Serum Zinc Levels and Intake in Type 2 Diabetes: Impact on Pathogenesis and Glycemic Control"

investigation of the impact of zinc level on the development of DM and to elaborate on whether daily consumption of zinc affects the disease's evolution.

Read the detailed description

The relationship between the pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus and trace element dysregulation emphasizes how crucial it is to maintain appropriate micronutrient status in order to manage this chronic metabolic disease. One promising strategy for enhancing glycemic control and lowering the risk of diabetic complications may be to address these underlying dietary imbalances.

Accordingly, the aim is to investigate the impact of zinc level on the development of DM and to elaborate on whether daily consumption of zinc affects the disease's evolution.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. zinc serum level in the participnats

    investigate the impact of zinc serum level on the development of DM

    Measured: "through study completion, an average of 1 year"

  2. Dietary micronutrient assessment using food questionnaire

    Dietary micronutrient assessment using food questionnaire adopted from a questionnaire for screening the micronutrient intake of economically active South African adults

    Measured: "through study completion, an average of 1 year"

  3. Trace elements daily intake calculation

    It will be calculated by multiplying the element contents measured in food (μg/kg) with the intake as estimated by the food micronutrient questionnaire (g/day).

    Measured: "through study completion, an average of 1 year"

  4. the dietary intake by kilogram (kg) of body weight (bw)

    the dietary intake by kilograms (kg) of body weight (bw) by dividing by the weight of participants.

    Measured: "through study completion, an average of 1 year"

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. HbA1C mesurements

    investigate the impact of serum zinc level on the glycemic control

    Measured: "through study completion, an average of 1 year"

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 2 Diabetes, run by Heliopolis University at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

zinc serum level in the participnats (time frame: "through study completion, an average of 1 year"). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Dec 2024.
