Summary
This study aimed to assess the effect of cumin soft gel on glycemic markers, lipid profile, and leptin in prediabetic subjects. In this rendomized controlled-placebo trial, patients will be enrolled if they were prediabetic according to American Diabetic Association, and who do not have other metabolic problems or who do not use drugs with interaction with cumin. ُAccording to previous studies, 25 subjects will be needed for each group but to avoid the loss, 32 subjects will be enrolled.
