Protocol summary

Study aim
Investigation of the effects of concentrated beetroot juice supplementation on glycemic control, lipid profile, hypertension, systemic inflammatory markers and oxidative stress and NF-κB in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and anthropometric measures in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Design
A randomized, controlled, open-label , phase 3 trial on 70 patient. Patients will be matched for gender and age then will be allocated to the concentrated group (A) and control group (B). Randomization will be done by blocked randomization (using 18-block charts and 70 sealed envelopes named A and B).
Settings and conduct
Patients with diabete 2 referring to the Shahid Ghasemi Clinic, Sari, Iran, who have criteria for entering the study, will write informed consent. At baseline ,they will be randomly assigned into intervention group who will receive 25 ml of concentrate, daily for 12 weeks and the control group who will receive routine care. At the beginning and after the intervention, meanwhile evaluating the anthropometric measures, 10 cc blood will be taken from patients after 12-14 hours fasting .
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients with noninsulin dependent diabetes for 1 to 10 years, aged between 35 -70 years and BMI between 20–25 kg/ m2. Exclusion criteria: Having inflammatory, hepatic and renal disease, receiving multivitamin supplements or herbal medicines during last 3 months or taking nitrate-containing drugs.
Intervention groups
Patients will randomly be allocated to the consternate (n = 35) and control group (n = 35) respectively for consumption in either order, a 12-week period of supplementation with 25 ml concentrated beetroot juice daily or without any intervention.
Main outcome variables
Fasting plasma glucose, HbA1C,Homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance& pancreatic β-cell function (HOMA-IR and HOMA-β respectively).

Randomization description
This study is a simply randomized, controlled, open-labeled trial. Patients will match for gender and age then will be allocated to the beetroot group-group A- (n = 35) and control group- group B- (n = 35) by blocked randomization (using the table of four blocks (A and B). A computer algorithm written in SAS® (Cary, NC) will be used for performing block randomization with randomly selected block sizes of 4. Finally, 18-block will be randomly selected and these blocks will be placed behind each other and 70 sealed envelopes named A and B will be provided. Participants will randomly choose one of these envelopes at the beginning of the study. These envelopes will be referred to individuals respectively for consumption in either order, an a12-week period of daily supplementation with 25 ml concentrated beetroot juice or without any intervention.
