Traditional herbal medicines have been used for thousands of years as an effective way to manage diabetes. Evidence show that Pistacia atlantica is a rich source of alpha-glucosidase which have been shown to normalise blood sugar balance. Method The study was designed as a double-blind placebo-controlled randomised clinical trial (RCT) using a parallel design. Ninetyfour patients referred to the diabetes clinic of Sulaymaniyah city with diagnosis of type 2 diabetes (T2D) were randomly assigned in two groups: P. atlantica and placebo. Patients received P. atlantica extract or placebo 10cc twice daily for 3 months. A diabetic diet was applied for both groups. Data were collected by demographic questionnaire, health history form, and laboratory assessment of blood sugar. Independent t-test, paired t-test, and repeated measures analysis of variance were used to analyse the data. Results There was a significant reduction in fasting blood glucose in the experimental group compared to the control group at 3 months (50±45.89 verses 10±35.5, p<0.001). The mean of HbA1c after intervention was 5.8±1.0. Patients with higher body mass index (BMI) showed more significant decrease compared to those with normal BMI (p<0.001). Conclusion P. atlantica is a natural product of the Kurdistan region of Iraq. This RCT demonstrates its role in the management of blood glucose concentration in patients with T2D at 3 months. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: pictorial research tables/charts randomized controlled trial Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
