Effect of honey consumption in comparison with not taking honey on glycemic control and oxidant and antioxidant compounds in patients with type 2 diabetes
The purpose of this study is determination of the effect of honey consumption on glycemic control and oxidant and antioxidant compounds in patients with type 2 diabetes. The study is a cross-over trial with two groups, the intervention group that will receive honey and a control group. The sample size is 50 in each group. Participants are patients with type 2 diabetes with fasting blood sugar < 200 mg/dl. Participants should be non-insulin dependent without a critical medical condition or infectious disease. Hospitalization or involvement in serious diseases will exclude patients from the study. The participants will be asked not to change their diet, life style, and physical activity during the study. In the first sequence of the study, one group will receive honey (50 g/day) for 8 weeks while the control group will be left without any intervention. Then a 4-week wash-out period will be established in which both of the groups do not consume honey. After the wash-out period, the second sequence of study will start and the role of groups will interchange. Both groups will be on weight-maintenance diet throughout the study. At the beginning and end of each sequence of study, blood samples will be collected to assess the changes (fasting blood sugar, insulin levels، serum malondialdehyde, and total antioxidant capacity).
