Settings and conduct
Among patients with gestational diabetes referred to Akbarabadi Clinic affiliated to Iran University of Medical Sciences, 40 patients will be selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participants, investigators or the assessors of the outcomes are unaware of the study groups.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients with gestational diabetes aged 18 to 40 years. Non inclusion criteria: Thyroid disorders, smokers, pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, those with kidney or liver diseases and required insulin therapy during intervention, taking selenium supplements or other antioxidants 3 months before the intervention .
Intervention groups
Intervention group: Selenium supplements (Nature, California, USA), 200 µg, daily, for 6 weeks orally. Control group: Placebo (Barij Essence, Kashan, Iran), daily, for 6 weeks orally.
Main outcome variables
