Effects of Tarragon Powder on Glucose Metabolic Changes, Lipid Profile and Antioxidant Enzyme Levels in Type 2 Patients with Diabetes: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Clinical Trial

Background: The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of tarragon make it known as an antidiabetic plant. Diabetes mellitus, endocrine, metabolic disease, is a leading global health emergency associated with serious complications. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effects powder supplementation on glucose metabolism, lipid profile, status in diabetic population. Methods: Patient screening selection for this clinical trial lasted one month. Tarragon supplement consumption by patients 2 months (8 weeks); meanwhile, they were followed up. Sixty male female type diabetes randomly assigned receiver group (n = 30) placebo 30). intervention received capsule (500 mg) 3 times day, control capsules. Fasting blood (FBG), two-hour postprandial (2-hpp), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), insulin, lipid, profile evaluated at start end research. Results: In group, FBG, 2-hpp, HbA1c%, insulin resistance, significantly improved, compared after adjuvant therapy (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Supplementation II exerts beneficial effect improving glycemic status.
