Primary Evaluation of Anti hyperglycemic Effect of internal septum of Juglans regia in patients with diabetes mellitus type II: A Double blind Randomized Clinical Trial
Determining the effectiveness of internal septum of Juglans regia hydro-alcoholic extract on lowering blood glucose.Sub-objectives: Determining the effect of J.regia internal septum extract on weight, waist circumference, waist to hip ratio, hypoglycemia, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, insulin resistance according to QUICKI and HOMA IR index
Design
Clinical trial with control group, parallel groups, double-blind, randomized, phase 3 on 80 patients.The blocks randomization scheme of permuted method is used for randomization.
Settings and conduct
Blinding: The patient and the researcher, including resident, the first and second supervisor professors, do not know about the capsules and the randomization will be done by the third supervisor.
Location: Diabetes Clinic of IKHC, Tehran
Procedure: Patients are divided into 2 equal groups of 40 people.One group of drugs and another is placebo are given three times a day before meals.lab tests (check blood levels of hemoglobin A1C, fasting plasma glucose, insulin, hs CRP, C-peptide AST, ALT and ALP, bilirubin and serum creatinine, weight, height and waist and hip circumference and blood pressure, urine analysis (for proteinuria)) Are taken at the beginning and end of the study.To ensure patients' cooperation, medications are provided once every 6 weeks.
