- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <br> Main Objective: The primary outcome will be the change in HOMA-IR in the intervention and control arms after 12 months of trial medication.<br> ;<br> Secondary Objective: Secondary outcomes will include changes in weight, waist and hip circumference, proportion with Metabolic Syndrome (Met S), levels of inflammatory biomarkers, lipid profile, pulse wave velocity ( PWV), Liver function tests(LFT) especially Alanine amino transferase (ALT) and Gamma Glutamyl transferase (GGT).<br> ;Primary end point(s): Primary end point is change in Insulin Resistance as determined by Homeostatic model assesment of Insulin Resistance. (HOMA-IR) This is a validated method of determining Insulin resistance using Fasting Plasma Glucose and Insulin levels applied to a standerdised equation.
