Antidiabetic activity
Five subjects in each group received a daily oral dose for
15 days of either a soft gelatin or hard gelatin formulation
of 16, 32 and 48 mg GlucosolTM sequentially with a 10-day
wash-out period in between the doses.
Each volunteer provided a blood sample in the morning,
after an overnight fast, seven days before the start of the
study (−7 day) and on the day of the study (0 day) to evaluate
the basal blood glucose level (control). Capillary bloods
from finger-pricks were collected and blood glucose level
was determined using a Precision Glucose Monitor. For each
subject and at each time point, three capillary blood samples
were taken and an average of three readings was recorded.
The basal blood glucose for each subject was determined
from a blood sample in the morning after an overnight fast
a week before the treatment with GlucosolTM.
