Plain-language summary
Background: Food-derived compounds have been shown to have beneficial effects in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Among these compounds, resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene) which is found in grapes, peanuts, cranberries. Resveratrol has a wide range of effects including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, anticancer, anti-oxidative and cardio- protective effects. Resveratrol is capable of inducing beneficial effects in diabetic animals and thereby, ameliorates diabetes. Recently, resveratrol showed beneficial effects in adults with T1DM. Objectives: Therefore, we performed a randomized-controlled trial to assess the effect of oral resveratrol supplementation on glycemic control, lipid profile and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) levels in pediatric patients with T1DM and diabetic nephropathy. Methods: This study included 60 children and adolescents with T1DM. Enrolled patients aged 12-18 years with disease duration \> 5 years and have diabetic nephropathy. Patients were randomly assigned into two groups; intervention group (group A) who received oral resveratrol tablets 250 mg twice daily. The other group (group B) did not receive any supplementation and served as a control group. Both groups were followed-up for 6 months with assessment of fasting blood glucose (FBG), HbA1c, urinary albumin creatinine ratio (UACR) and KIM-1 levels. Insulin sensitivity score and estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) were calculated.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients with T1DM.
* Patients aged 12-18 years with at least 5 years disease duration.
* Active diabetic nephropathy in the form of microalbuminuria (urinary albumin excretion \[UAE\] 30-299 mg/g creatinine). The presence of persistent microalbuminuria was confirmed by finding two or all of three samples abnormal over a 3- to 6-months period prior to study despite angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-Is) (Tabaei et al., 2001; Molitch et al., 2004; Donaghueet al., 2018).
* Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ≤9.0%.
* Patients on regular visit to clinic.
* Patients on regular insulin therapy.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients with history of liver disease or any disorder likely to impair liver functions or elevated liver enzymes (aminotransferases levels higher than twice the upper normal limit).
* Patients with renal impairment due to cause other than diabetes.
* Patients with hypertension.
* Hyper- or hypo-thyroidism.
* Hepatitis virus infection (B or C) or any evidence of infection.
* Hypoglycaemic unawareness or recurrent severe hypoglycaemic episode in 6 months prior to recruitment.
* Recurrent diabetic ketoacidosis (more than 2 episodes in the previous 12 months).
* Serious co-morbidities.
* Patients were already on anti-hypertensive drugs or any antioxidant therapy such as vitamin supplements.
* Taking any vitamins or food supplements one month before study.
* Patients who have an allergy to grapes, berries, and peanuts.
* Participation in a previous i…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
