Cysteinylglycine or -glutamylcysteine have been proposed as possible alternatives.In a trial of adolescents with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes, a dose of 30-45mg/kg/day NAC failed to correct several markers of glutathione status, suggesting either a higher dose or alternative therapies may be indicated in this population.A recent study of patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes found that dietary supplementation of the amino acids cysteine and glycine, markers of glutathione synthesis and plasma oxidative stress were both improved
