Study aim
-
Determining the effect of fenugreek seed extract supplement on serum levels of FBS, serum insulin and IR and serum levels of TG, HDL, LDL, TC and the amount of appetite and energy and macronutrient intake and the amount of oxidant and antioxidant balance (PAB) in individuals With T2DM
-
Design
-
This study is a randomized double-blind parallel clinical trial using the block Randomization method in which patients with type 2 diabetes will be divided into two subgroups of 23 complementary and placebo.
