Study aim
-
the effect of curcumin-piperine dietary supplement on lipid profile, glycemic, inflammatory and blood pressure indicators in people with type 2 diabetes and hypertriglyceridemia: randomized double-blind clinical trial
-
Design
-
The double-blind, phase 3 and randomized trial will be divided into two groups of 40 people (intervention group and placebo) using a random number table.
-
Settings and conduct
-
We select 80 people with type 2 diabetes with hypertriglyceridemia who go to clinics affiliated to Isfahan University of Medical Sciences and randomly divide them into two groups: supplement and placebo. For the purpose of blindness, the drug and the placebo will be very similar and participants and researchers will not be aware of it until the end of the study. Biochemical evaluation, anthropometry and measurement of blood pressure and blood test are performed at the beginning of the study and 12 weeks after the intervention.
