they were diagnosed clinicallyof 25 patients were treated with Ascorbic acid at dose 500 mg twice a day for
12 days and the others 25 were considered as control.
The study group demonstrated a significant decrease in the fasting patient’s blood sugar (F.B.S), insulin and
fasting blood, and Insulin resistance at the end of 12 weeks (P0.05) as compared to baseline measurements.
