Abstract

Aims: To evaluate the effectiveness treatment of KENU TD capsules in patients with type 2 diabetes.


Methods: A randomized open-label clinical trial was conducted in 472 outpatients receiving drugs for type 2 diabetes. The intervention group received KENU TD capsules for 3 months (n=237). The effectiveness of KENU TD capsules on HbA1c reduction and blood glucose control was evaluated using a generalized linear model with adjustment for factors including age, gender, residence, physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, HbA1c, fasting blood glucose, insulin injection, complications, total cholesterol, LDL-Cholesterol, triglyceride at baseline and BMI change after intervention.


Results: The average HbA1c decreased by 0.59% in the intervention group and decreased by 0.18% in the control group (p = 0.001). Using the product could achieve better blood glucose control (HbA1c <7 mmol/L) than not using the product with aRR (95%CI)= 0.65 (0.49-0.85).


Conclusion: Using KENU TD capsules 3 months could effectively reduce HbA1c in patients with type 2 diabetes and increase the likelihood of achieving goal for blood glucose control.
