on: the evidence for the effects of folic acid on plasma homocysteine levels and the total the glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes are contradictory. It was therefore carried out this review ar
ticle.The total plasma homocysteine levels and folic acid supplements improve the glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes
?Study desig
n: this overview article contained 4 studies with 183 patients with diabetes ty
pe 2. results and conclu
sions: the meta-analysis showed that folic acid supplements had a significant effect on the total plasma homocysteine levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. The weighted mean difference was-3.52 [95% CI =-4.44 to-2.60]. Significant is, there is a link at 95% reliability.
The meta-analysis showed that folic acid supplements had a non-significant effect on the HbA1c levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. The weighted mean difference was-0.37 [95% CI =-1.10 to 0.35]. Non-significant is, there is no link.
The researchers concluded that folic acid supplements the total plasma homocysteine levels in patients with type 2 diabetes reduced and there was a trend to recognize in improving glycemic control.Original title: Eff
