Summary

This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 2,500 individuals aged 40-79 with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The trial includes a 2-year intervention period followed by a 3-year post-intervention follow-up. The primary objective is to investigate (a) the effect of daily supplementation with vitamin D3 (1600 IU) or yeast β-glucan (600 mg) on glycemic control in patients with T2D and (b) whether daily supplementation with vitamin D3 (1600 IU) or yeast β-glucan (600 mg) reduces the predicted 10 year risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in patients with T2D. The secondary objectives include evaluating the effects of vitamin D3 or yeast β-glucan supplementation on cardiometabolic risk factors, inflammatory markers, and liver and kidney function indicators, and assessing whether such supplementation reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, microvascular complications and mortality over the 3-year post-intervention period.
