Abstract

Type 2 diabetes
(T2D) is a chronic metabolic disorder that is known as a serious problem in the
public health. It is characterized by high blood glucose level, insulin
resistance, impaired lipid, and protein and carbohydrate metabolism.
Medication, exercise and diet are considered as fundamental treatment protocols
of T2D. Furthermore, recently more attention has been paid to the beneficial
effect of herbal medicine on T2D treatment. Hence the present study aimed to
investigate the effect of Melissa officinal, Cinnamomum zeylanicum, Terminalia
chebula, Cynara scoolymus, Silybum marianum Cichorium intybus L on
hypoglycaemic control.

The study
designed as a before-after clinical trial in 50 T2D patients. All participants
were asked to drink the herbal tea mixture twice a day for 30 days. The
biochemical parameters including fasting blood sugar (FBS), glucose tolerance
test (GTT), high density lipoprotein (HDL),, low density lipoprotein (LDL),,
alanine amino transferase (ALT), aspartate amino transferase (AST), alkaline
transferase (ALP), triglyceride (TG), 
cholesterol  (Cl), Creatine Cr,
Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were
measured before and after intervention.

The results
represented a significant decrease in FBS (p<0.05) while there were no
significant changes in HDL-C, LDL-C, ALP, AST, HbA1C, ALT, TG, Cl, Cr and HRPP.

In conclusion,
the present outcomes suggest the herbal tea mixture including decrease FBS
among T2D and could consider as an efficient treatment in prevention and
reduction of hyperglycemia although further research is required to identify
the obvious effect of herbal medicine in T2D.
