Nutrition 21, Inc. is Set to Present at the RedChip Small Cap Conference Next Month in New York City.
The Company is involved in research and product development aimed to help diabetics.
Recently, Nutrition 21, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXXI) announced new published results from a 447 subject, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study that showed Diachrome®, a patented combination of chromium picolinate and biotin, significantly improved glycemic control in patients with poorly controlled blood sugar levels who were being treated with oral anti-diabetic medication (OADs).
Patients in the treatment group showed significant improvements in glycemic control (A1C) compared with placebo (an absolute decrease of 0.54%). The greatest improvement was seen in those patients with the poorest glycemic control (baseline A1C levels equal to or greater than 10%). These patients saw an additional absolute A1C decrease of 1.76% despite the fact that they were taking one or more OAD medications.
The American Diabetes Association’s (ADA) recommended goal for type 2 diabetes patients is an A1C level below 7.0%. Lowering A1C by just 1%, especially in patients with poor blood sugar control, can delay or prevent serious complications, reduce diabetes-related deaths(1) and reduce healthcare costs.
