Abstract in brief

This 12-month randomized clinical trial found that zinc supplementation (20 mg daily) in prediabetic individuals helped reduce blood glucose levels, insulin resistance, and the progression to type 2 diabetes compared to those who did not receive zinc.
Participants starting with below-normal serum zinc levels showed significant health improvements in the zinc-treated group, including lower fasting plasma glucose, 2-hour glucose levels, and better cell function.
The study concluded that zinc supplementation can be beneficial for preventing diabetes progression and improving key cardiometabolic markers like cholesterol, making it a promising intervention for prediabetes.
