Summary

Fermented Papaya Preparation (FPP) is a sweet and granular substance available over the counter. FPP possesses antioxidant properties, which provide benefit against age-related complications, and is also known to protect red blood cells (RBCs) against oxidative damage and to help protect against severe forms of thalassemia. The investigators recently showed that ex vivo supplementation of FPP can correct respiratory burst performance of diabetic peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) via a Sp-1 dependant pathway. Based on these observations, the investigators propose to study the outcome that FPP supplementation has in patients with diabetes.
