Adults with type 2 diabetes (820 participants across 12 randomized trials, 15 lipid datasets); fish oil versus placebo oils, trials lasting 3 weeks to 6 months
  • “However, compared to placebo, fish oil supplementation significantly decreased TG level by − 0.40 (95%CI: − 0.53 to-0.28, I2 = 0%, p < 0.05), and increased HDL cholesterol level by 0.21 (95%CI: 0.05 to 0.37, I2 = 37.1%, p < 0.05).”
