Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a major non-communicable health problem that have effects on glycemic status. Oral omega-3 fatty acid supplementation may improve glycemic status in diabetic patient. Objective: To observe the effect of supplementation of omega-3 fatty acid on fasting serum glucose (FSG) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in type 2 DM. Methods: This prospective interventional study was conducted from January 2017 to December 2017. A total numbers of 52 diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients(type-2 DM) of both sexes were selected with age 40 to 50 years. Among them, 27 type 2 diabetic patient with supplementation of omega 3 fatty acid (2g/day) for 12 weeks was considered as study group. Another 25 type 2 diabetic patients without supplementation of omega 3 fatty acid was considered as control group. The study subjects were selected from Outpatient Department of Endocrinology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka and personal contact from Dhaka city. FSG was estimated by enzymatic colorimetric method and HbA1c was estimated by turbidimetric inhibition immunoassay method. The study parameters were measured at base line and after 12 weeks of study period in both groups. For statistical analysis, Student’s paired ‘t’ test and Student’s unpaired ‘t’ test were performed as applicable using SPSS for windows version 16.0. Results: In this study serum FSG and HbA1c levels were significantly lower (p<.001) in diabetic patients after supplementation with omega-3 fatty acid in comparison to that of their baseline value. Again, after 12 weeks, FSG and HbA1c levels significantly decreased (p<.001) in omega-3 fatty acid supplemented diabetic patients compared to control group. In control group, there was no significant change in FSG and HbA1c levels between baseline and after 3 months of follow-up. Conclusion: From the results of the study, it can be concluded that omega-3 fatty acid may improve serum FSG and HbA1c levels in type 2 diabetic patient and may be helpful to minimize the complications of type-2 DM.

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a major non-communicable health problem that has effects on glycemic status. Hyperglycemia that is an inherent finding of diabetes causes platelet dysfunction. Oral omega-3 fatty acid supplementation may improve glycemic status in diabetic patient and reduce micro and macrovascular complications. Objective: To observe the effect of supplementation of omega-3 fatty acid on Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) and Platelet count in type 2 DM. Methods: A prospective interventional study was conducted from January 2017 to December 2017. A total numbers of 52 diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients of both sexes were selected within age 40 to 50 years. Among them, 27 type 2 diabetic patients with supplementation of omega 3 fatty acid (2g/day) for 12 weeks were considered as study group and another 25 type 2 diabetic patients without supplementation of omega 3 fatty acid were considered as control group. The study subjects were selected from Outpatient Department of Endocrinology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka and personal contact from Dhaka city. MPV and platelet count were measured by hematology analyzer. The study parameters were measured at base line and after 12 weeks of study period in both groups. Results: In this study MPV and platelet count levels were significantly lower (p<.001) in diabetic patients after supplementation with omega-3 fatty acid in comparison to that of their baseline value. Again, after 12 weeks, MPV and platelet count were significantly lower (p<.001) in diabetic patients after supplementation with omega-3 fatty acid in comparison to control group. In control group, MPV and Platelet count were almost similar both at baseline and after 3 months of follow-up. Conclusion: After analyzing the results of the study it can be concluded that omega-3 fatty acid may improve MPV and Platelet count levels in type 2 diabetic patients and may be helpful to minimize the complications of type-2 DM.

Background: People with type2 diabetes mellitus (DM) are at amplified chance of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Objective: To observe the effects of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation Alanine Transferase (ALT) and Aspartate Transferase (AST) in middle age patients with type 2 DM. Methods: A prospective interventional study in 2017, recruited 52 type 2 diabetic patients of both sexes aged 40 to 50 years. Among them, 27 patients were given fish oil capsule orally (omega 3 fatty acid 2g/day) for consecutive 12 weeks and 25 patients without supplementation were selected as control also studied after 12 weeks. Serum ALT and AST of all patients were estimated by enzymatic colorimetric method at baseline and after 12 weeks. For statistical analysis, Paired Student’s ‘t’ test and Unpaired Student’s ‘t’ test were performed. Results: In this study ALT and AST significantly decreased in patients supplemented with omega-3 fatty acid after 12 weeks, ALT (alanine aminotransferase) and AST (aspartate transaminase) were decreased in diabetic patients after supplementation with omega- 3 fatty acid in comparison to control group. Conclusion: It can be concluded that omega-3 fatty acid supplementation was effective to reduce ALT and AST levels in diabetic patients and it may be helpful to minimize the risk of fatty liver in type-2 DM.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the role of omega-3 supplementation on NEFA concentration, insulin sensitivity and resistance, and glucose and lipid metabolism in type 2 diabetic patients. Subjects and methods: Forty-four type 2 diabetic patients were randomly recruited into two groups. Group A received 4 g/day omega-3 soft gels, and group B received a placebo for 10 wks. Blood samples were collected after 12-h fast. Physical activity records, three-day food records, and anthropometric measurements were obtained from all participants at the beginning and end of the study. Results: Omega-3 supplementation caused a significant reduction in NEFA in the intervention group compared with the placebo group (P = 0.009). Additionally, the administration of omega-3 resulted in significantly greater changes (Diff) for the intervention group in various parameters, such as insulin and Quicki indices compared with the placebo group (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Omega-3 fatty acid supplementation in type 2 diabetic patients improved insulin sensitivity, probably due to the decrease in NEFA concentrations.

Background: The one of the most common metabolic disorder that remains worldwide is Diabetes mellitus. Dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acid may confer a protective effect against diabetes, improves high density lipoprotein (HDL-C) and reduce low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels. Objective: To observe the effect of supplementation of omega-3 fatty acid on HDL and LDL levels in type 2 DM. Methods: A prospective interventional study was conducted from January 2017 to December 2017. A total numbers of 52 diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients of both sexes were selected with age ranging from 40 to 50 years. Among them, 27 type 2 diabetic patients with supplementation of omega 3 fatty acid (2g/day) for 12 weeks was considered as study group. Another 25 type 2 diabetic patients without supplementation of omega 3 fatty acid were considered as control group for comparison. The study subjects were selected from Outpatient Department of Endocrinology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka and personal contact from Dhaka city on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. The research work was carried out after obtaining ethical clearance from concerned departments, Research Review Committee and Ethical Review Committee of Dhaka medical college, Dhaka. The study parameters serum HDL was estimated by enzymatic colorimetric method in auto-analyzer and serum low density lipoprotein was calculated by using Friedwald formula in Department of Laboratory Medicine, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka. The parameters were studied 2 times in study and control groups i.e. at the beginning of study (base line) and after 12 weeks of study period. Data were collected in pre-designed structured questionnaire from the researcher by herself. For statistical analysis, Paired Student’s ‘t’ test and Unpaired Student’s ‘t’ test were performed as applicable using SPSS for windows version 16.0. Results: In this study High density lipoprotein cholesterol that is good cholesterol increased and low density lipoprotein cholesterol was decreased in diabetic patients after supplementation with omega-3 fatty acid in comparison to that of their baseline value. Again, after 12 weeks, high density lipoprotein was higher and low density lipoprotein cholesterol was lower in diabetic patients after supplementation with omega-3 fatty acid in comparison to control group. Conclusion: After analyzing the results of the study, it can be concluded that omega-3 fatty acid can improve HDL and lowers LDL levels in diabetic patients may be helpful to minimize the complications of type-2 diabetes mellitus.
