Dietary supplements for diabetes: an evaluation of commonly used products

Shane-McWhorter, Laura·2009·Diabetes Spectrum

Abstract

In Brief Individuals with diabetes are more likely than those without diabetes to use different modalities that may not be considered part of mainstream allopathic or conventional medicine. Many dietary supplements of botanical and nonbotanical origin are available over the counter to treat diabetes or its comorbidities. Clinicians must maintain a respectful attitude toward patients' health care values and beliefs, encourage open dialogue, and provide accurate, nonjudgmental information about different supplements. It is essential that clinicians stay informed about dietary supplements to evaluate whether side effects or potential interactions among medications, dietary supplements, medical conditions, or nutrients may occur.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Herbals/botanicals have demonstrated potent anti-diabetic effects via a variety of mechanisms, such as enhancing insulin sensitivity, stimulating insulin secretion, blocking carbohydrate absorption, and reducing oxidative stress.

    “Herbals/botanicals have demonstrated potent anti-diabetic effects via a variety of mechanisms, such as enhancing insulin sensitivity, stimulating insulin secretion, blocking the absorption of carbohydrates, and reducing OS; the inhibition of α-glucosidase enzyme and the generation of advanced glycation products, the transcription of GLUT-4 and PPAR, and the presence of antioxidants.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
