Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in 2h glucose concentration after the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) from baselineWeeks 0 and 12
Change in fasting plasma glucose from baselineEvery 6 weeks (Overall 12 weeks)
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in HbA1c from baselineWeeks 0 and 12
Change in glycoalbumin from baselineWeeks 0 and 12
Change in fasting insulin from baselineWeeks 0 and 12
