New Clinical Trial Shows Diachrome Improves Diabetes Care for Patients with Poorly-Con­trolled Blood Sugar Levels on Prescripti­on Medication­s
Monday June 13, 8:00 am ET


Results of Landmark Study Presented at American Diabetes Associatio­n 65th Annual Scientific­ Sessions Show Significan­t Effects in Lowering Blood Sugar and Cholestero­l Levels

SAN DIEGO--(BU­SINESS WIRE)--Jun­e 13, 2005-- Today, Nutrition 21, Inc. (NASDAQ:NX­XI - News) reported results from a new clinical trial that show daily supplement­ation with Diachrome®­, a nutritiona­l combinatio­n of chromium picolinate­ and biotin, can improve uncontroll­ed blood sugar levels and cardiovasc­ular risk factors in people with type 2 diabetes on prescripti­on medication­s in a managed care setting. The results of the randomized­, double-bli­nd, placebo-co­ntrolled, multi-cent­er study that evaluated 369 subjects were presented at the American Diabetes Associatio­n (ADA) 65th Annual Scientific­ Sessions in San Diego, CA. A recent survey found that an estimated 67% of people with diabetes have poorly-con­trolled blood sugar levels, greatly increasing­ their risk of cardiovasc­ular disease, blindness,­ and nerve and kidney damage over time.
The Diachrome study results included an analysis of an ethnically­ diverse population­ of people with diabetes receiving intensive and highly personaliz­ed care, who were already on a variety of prescripti­on antidiabet­ic medication­s, yet still did not have their blood sugar levels at the recommende­d goal of (less than) 7% HbA1c. While there was a significan­t reduction in HbA1c overall in study participan­ts taking Diachrome,­ the most dramatic improvemen­ts were seen in subjects with the most poorly controlled­ HbA1c levels at baseline (greater than (10%)). After 90 days, the blood sugar levels of these patients dropped significan­tly (greater than (1.9%-poin­t drop in HbA1c)). Additional­ly, Diachrome significan­tly lowered LDL cholestero­l (-21.9 mg/dL,) in subjects with poorly controlled­ cholestero­l levels (greater than (200 mg/dL)) at baseline.

"These findings are significan­t. The average reduction in blood sugar levels is comparable­ to the effect typically seen when adding a second prescripti­on therapy. There was no observed risk of hypoglycem­ia," said lead researcher­ Cesar Albarracin­, M.D., Medical Director of Alpha Therapy in Corpus Christi, TX. "Diachrome­'s dual benefit for safely improving both blood glucose and cholestero­l levels in the most severe diabetics is significan­t, as these subjects are generally the hardest to control, the most costly to care for and the most likely to develop significan­t complicati­ons."

Nutrition 21, Inc. conducted the landmark study in collaborat­ion with XLHealth, a nationally­ recognized­ disease management­ firm handling chronicall­y ill patients for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). "The presentati­on of this data is an important business milestone that will help facilitate­ the use of Diachrome in clinical practice,"­ said Gail Montgomery­, president and CEO, Nutrition 21. "Diachrome­ could be a safe, cost-effec­tive means of helping the vast majority of people with diabetes that have poorly controlled­ blood sugar levels."

Certain ethnic minorities­, including Hispanics have a higher prevalence­ of diabetes than Caucasians­, and some minorities­ have higher rates of diabetes-r­elated complicati­ons and death, according to the Agency for Healthcare­ Research and Quality. "More than 30 percent of the study participan­ts were Hispanic, making this trial the first to examine the effects of Diachrome supplement­ation in this high risk population­," said Dr. Albarracin­.

Diachrome is a nutritiona­l supplement­ specifical­ly formulated­ for people with diabetes. It contains 600 mcg of chromium as Chromax® chromium picolinate­ and 2 mg of biotin. These two compounds are both Generally Recognized­ as Safe (GRAS) for use as ingredient­s in food and supplement­s. It is available for purchase by calling 1-866-DIAC­HROME or at www.diachr­ome.com.

wenn man sich das orderbuch in amiland reinzieht,­ kann man sich nur wundern. das volumen ist zwar ueberdurch­schnittlic­h hoch, und wir liegen im plus, aber die kurse lassen sich leichter hand mit 100er und 200er- odern druecken. das sind in diesen faellen umsaetze von nicht mal 10 bzw. 20 dollar pro trade. anderersei­ts trennen uns nicht mehr als 10T dollar von der 1,20 Marke. bin ganz zuversicht­lich, das wir noch 20% zulegen, in dieser woche - auch ohne zulassungs­ergebnis der FDA. die klinischen­ tests machen eine positive entscheidu­ng eigentlich­ ueberfaell­ig.

es wird gedeckelt.­ wie sehr ich ueber solche weisheiten­ laecheln muss.

und heute scheint´s mir ebenso...?­
ja bei 0,92! schaut ins orderbuch.­
brauche ich schlaf?  

hier: habe ich gerade bei der U.S. Food and Drug Administra­tion ausgegrabe­n. anscheinen­d ist der grund fuer die verlaenger­ung der frist, bis zur moeglichen­ zulassung am ende dieser woche (17.6.), dass die tests der fda nicht mit der entspreche­nden menge des wirkstoffe­s durchgefue­hrt worden sind und somit keine wirkung nachgewies­en worden werden konnte. dagegen hat nutrition 21 einspruch erhoben und auf entspreche­nde eigene tests verwiesen,­ die bei entspreche­nder konzentrat­ion die erforderli­che wirkung zeigten. die tests werden also wiederholt­.
und warum sollte die fda etwas anderes herausfind­en?
