Impact of Fenugreek Supplementation on Obesity and Hyperglycemia Among Diabetic Adults in Saudi Arabia: A Quasi-Experimental Study

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 26 Jun 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Fenugreek seed powder helps lower body weight and blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes who are overweight or obese. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does Fenugreek lower body mass index (BMI)? Does Fenugreek lower fasting blood sugar, random blood sugar, and HbA1c levels? Researchers will compare people who take Fenugreek along with their regular diabetes care to people who receive only standard diabetes care, to see if the Fenugreek supplement adds extra benefits. Participants will: Take 10 grams of Fenugreek seed powder twice a day (before breakfast and dinner) for 3 months. Follow their usual diabetes treatment and a recommended meal plan. Visit the clinic four times during the study to check weight and blood sugar levels. This study is being done in Hail City, Saudi Arabia.
