Protocol summary

Study aim
Determination of the effect of a supplement of hydro-alcoholic extract of Eryngium on the metabolic marker in type 2 diabetic patients
Design
The clinical trial with two groups (intervention and control), pragmatic, double-blind, randomized
Settings and conduct
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of hydroalcoholic extract of Eryngium on the metabolic marker in type 2 diabetic patients in the Diabetes Clinic of Sabzevar University of Medical Sciences.Clinical observant and participants will be unaware of how they are grouped. Patients will be randomized in the intervention group (hydroalcoholic extract of Eryngium) and in the control (placebo). The response to treatment is evaluated by metabolic markers at the end of the third month after the intervention for both groups.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Type 2 diabetes for at least 2 years, HbA1C less than 8.5, Patients aged 20-60 years, Non-insulin treated diabetic patients. Exclusion criteria: Pregnancy and breastfeeding, Renal and cardiovascular disorders and chronic underlying disease, Insulin therapy, Micro and macro-vascular diabetic complications, Use of other herbal medicines that have an effect on diabetes, Smoking or alcohol abuse within a month before the study
Intervention groups
Intervention group: Patients in this group are treated with Hydroalcoholic extract of Eryngium (10 drops 3 times a day) for 3 months. (Each ml (28 drops) of this drug contains 924 mg of dry Eryngium). Control group: Patients in this group are treated with placebo (10 drops 3 times a day) for 3 months.
Main outcome variables
Determination of FBS, HbA1C, Triglyceride, cholesterol, LDL, HDL, creatinine, urea, alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase levels

Randomization description
Randomization was conducted based on a permutation block, Accordingly, 42 blocks were allocated to patients, in each block, 2 were from following groups, treatment group A and group B. Eventually, after completing the blocks, Group A and B were treated with hydroalcoholic extract of Eryngium and Placebo tablet, respectively.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
Each person will be assigned a study code A and B, which will only be known to the researcher of the type of groups. The clinical observant and the participants are unaware of the groups.
