Alpha –tochoferol has antioxidant effects and can improve lipid profiles. We evaluated the effect of vitamin E supplementation on glucose, insulin and lipid profiles in type 2 diabetic patients. Materials and Methods: In a randomized clinical trial, 31 patients included 14 men and 17 women (51.9±5.9 year) with type 2 diabetes were randomly divided into treatment with vitamin E (800 mg/day) and placebo groups for 2 months. Plasma glucose, Insulin and lipid profiles were measured at the beginning and at the end of 3 months supplementation. The paired and independent t-test was used for analyzing of data. Results: Anthropometric indexes were stable throughout the study. Vitamin E administration lowered fasting plasma insulin concentrations (28.25±2.37 and 27.8±2.56, p }, URL = {http://imtj.gmu.ac.ir/article-1-436-en.html}, eprint = {http://imtj.gmu.ac.ir/article-1-436-en.doc}, journal = {Internal Medicine Today}, doi = {}, year = {2008} }
