NCT ID NCT06241638
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether adding vitamin B12 to the diabetes drug dapagliflozin improves blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes. Eighty volunteers took either dapagliflozin alone or dapagliflozin plus vitamin B12 for 12 months. Researchers measured HbA1c levels to compare the two groups.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) and dapagliflozin
- What this could lead to
- If adding vitamin B12 to standard diabetes treatment improves blood sugar control, it could offer a simple, low-cost way to better manage type 2 diabetes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with only 80 participants. The results may not apply to everyone, and the benefit of vitamin B12 on blood sugar is not yet proven.
