The Amelioration of Detrimental Biochemical Anomalies by Supplementing B, C, and E Vitamins in Subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus May Reduce the Rate of Development of Diabetic Retinopathy

Table 1

Baseline demographic and clinical characteristics of study subjects of two groups.

Parameters	Group A0	Group B0	value
Age (years)			0.962
Sex (M/F)	117/68	105/70	0.527
BMI (kg/m^2)			0.904
FPG (mg/dl)			0.637
PPG (mg/dl)			0.764
HbA1c (%)			0.647

Group A0: baseline levels of different parameters of Group A; Group B0: baseline levels of different parameters of Group B; FPG: fasting plasma glucose; PPG: postprandial plasma glucose; HbA1c: glycated haemoglobin. Continuous observations were presented as (standard deviation) and compared by using the unpaired -test. Categorical data of the two groups were presented as ratios and compared using the test; value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
