Diabetic type II patients would be encouraged to eat what they like within a list of food products with hypoglycemic effect, at a similar dosage and preparation mode than the one in the reference clinical trials.~This pilot project will be conducted as a randomized controlled trial with 2 arms over 12 weeks: 1. training patients about hypoglycemic spices and foods alongside their usual anti-diabetic treatment, versus usual anti-diabetic treatment alone.~Expected results: Confirmation of the hypothesis that daily consuming spices and foods with hypoglycemic effect to diabetic patients can help better control diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes patients often do not reach desired control of glycemia despite guidance on changing lifestyle and diet as well as the use of conventional anti-diabetic medication. Parallely in recent years, an array of comparative clinical studies have demonstrated the anti-diabetic effect of more than 10 common spices and food products. Objectives: to evaluate whether proposing a choice of spices and foods products with hypoglycemic effect to diabetic patients can help better control diabetes.
