Protocol summary

Summary
This study examined The effect of ginger on glycemic status, apolipoprotein B, apolipoprotein A-I, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), malondialdehyde (MDA), high sensitivity c-reactive protein (hsCRP), and paraoxonase in type 2 diabetic patians.In this placebo-controlled double-blind randomized clinical trial, 70 patients with diabetes who qualify and are enrolled into the study.Patients in case group are receiving about 3 grams of powdered ginger daily for 3 months and control patients are receiving 3 glactose powder daily for 3 months.After the 3-month intervention period, glycemic status, apolipoprotein B, apolipoprotein A-I, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), malondialdehyde (MDA), high sensitivity c-reactive protein (hsCRP), and paraoxonase 2 groups will be compared.
