A Comparative Study on the Effects of Ascorbic Acid and Vitamin E on Glycemic Control and Cardiovascular Risk in Type II Diabetes

Abstract

Abstract 
Elevated blood sugar levels are the hallmark of type 2 diabetes mellirus (t2dm), a chronic 
metabolic illness that may have devastating consequences. Critical features of diabetes care include keeping blood 
glucose levels under control and lowering cardiovascular risk factors. Ascorbic acid is a well-known antioxidant and 
free radical scavenger that may be found in many plant foods. Protecting against oxidative stress, which is 
exacerbated in diabetics, is one of its most important functions. In recent years, interest in Vit. E's antioxidant 
properties iainst oxidative damage to cell membranes and lipids has increased. Vit. E supplementation has been 
shown to improve insulin sensitivity and lipid profiles in persons wit\i'pe 2 diabetes, which may lower their risk of 
cardiovascular disease. Comparing the effects of ascorbic acid and Vit. e supplementation on glycemic control and 
cardiovascular risk in type 2 diabetes mellitus is the focus of this study.
