ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of date seed extract on controlling diabetes and reducing heart disease risk in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Researchers want to determine if including date seeds in the diet can help manage blood sugar levels and improve heart health, especially since diabetes is becoming more common in Saudi Arabia. The trial is currently looking for participants aged 18 and older who have been diagnosed with T2DM and are receiving regular diabetes care. Eligible candidates should have stable blood sugar levels and no recent hospitalizations related to their diabetes.

Participants in this trial can expect to take part in a randomized controlled study, which means they might receive either the date seed extract or a placebo (a non-active treatment) without knowing which one they are getting. This helps researchers find out how effective the date seed extract really is. Before joining, potential participants will be screened for certain criteria, such as not being pregnant, having no severe heart or kidney issues, and not having allergies to date products. This trial offers a chance to contribute to important research that could help improve diabetes management for many people.
