Objective: To test the hypothesis that 12 months of seal oil omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-3 PUFA) supplementation will stop the known progression of diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSP) in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).Methods: Individuals with T1DM and evidence of DSP as determined by a Toronto Clinical Neuropathy Score >= 1 were recruited to participate in a single-arm, open-label trial of seal oil omega-3 PUFA supplementation (10 mL.d(-1); 750 mg eicosapentaenoic acid, 560 mg docosapentaenoic acid, and 1,020 mg docosahexaenoic acid) for 1 year. The primary outcome was the 1-year change in corneal nerve fiber length (CNFL) measured by in vivo corneal confocal microscopy, with sensory and nerve conduction measures as secondary outcomes.Results: Forty participants (53% female), aged 48 +/- 14 years, body mass index 28.1 +/- 5.8 with diabetes duration of 27 +/- 18 years, were enrolled. At baseline, 23 participants had clinical DSP and 17 did not. Baseline CNFL was 8.3 +/- 2.9 mm/mm(2) and increased 29% to 10.1 +/- 3.7 mm/mm(2) (p = 0.002) after 12 months of supplementation. There was no change in nerve conduction or sensory function.Conclusions: Twelve months of omega-3 supplementation was associated with increase in CNFL in T1DM.ClinicalTrials. govidentifier: NCT02034266.Classification of evidence: This study provides Class IV evidence that for patients with T1DM and evidence of DSP, 12 months of seal oil omega-3 supplementation increases CNFL.
