Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Objective - Type 2 uncontrolled diabetic patients often have low endogenous melatonin and suffer from sleep disorders. The effect of a prolonged-release melatonin (PRM) formulation on glucose lipid metabolism and sleep is studied in type 2 diabetes patients with insomnia.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Methods: In a randomized, double-blind, crossover study, the subjects were treated for 3 weeks with 1 tablet per night of 2 mg prolonged-release melatonin or placebo, with one week washout period in between. Sleep was objectively monitored by wrist actigraphy. Fasting glucose, fructosamine, insulin, C-peptide, triglycerides, cholesterol (total, HDL and LDL) and some antioxidants were assessed at baseline and end of each period.
