OF TREATMENT

CONCLUSIONS

6 MONTHS OF TREATMENT WITH GDUE FAVORLY AFFECT ALL COMPONENTS OF METABOLIC SYNDROME

Reduction of Cardiovascular Risk
RRR -27,7%

Details

Why is Gdue effective?

The enzyme inhibition of Gdue reduces the rate of carbohydrate absorpion, making carbohydrates available for several hours

REDUCES PEAKS OF POSTPRANDIAL BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVEL

REDUCTION OF INSULIN SECRETION

IMPROVEMENT OF PERIPHERAL SENSITIVITY TO INSULIN

NO HYPOGLYCAEMIC PEAKS

ENHANCED OVERALL PHYSIOLOGICAL METABOLIC RESPONSE

Acting on the metabolism of carbohydrates helps to decrease cardiovascular risk as this has an impact on the different components of the

Metabolic Syndrome

Statistics have clearly demonstrated that 6 months of treatment with Gdue ensures:

BODY WEIGHT IS REDUCED

-7,3 Kg

Statistics show a significant reduction in body weight after 90 and 180 days regardless of the type of diet.

WAIST CIRCUMFERENCE IS REDUCED

-7,5 cm

Statistics show a significant reduction in waist circumference after 90 and 180 days regardless of the type of diet.

HbA1c and FASTING BLOOD GLUCOSE ARE REDUCED

HbA1c – 0,55%

in the sub-group of the 197 dysglycemic subjects

Fasting blood sugar -16,3 mg/dL

in the sub-group of the 136 diabetic subjects

LDL and TRIGLYCERIDES ARE REDUCED and HDL IS INCREASED

in the sub-group of the 210 hypertensive subjects

LDL
-18,2 mg/dL

HDL
+2,9 mg/dL

TRIGLYCERIDES
-39 mg/dL

HYPERTENSION IS REDUCED

in the sub-group of the 210 hypertensive subjects
