Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.Diabetes mellitus is the most common endocrine disorder, causes many complications such as micro- and macro-vascular diseases.

Curcumin is effective in reducing glycemic index and hyperlipidemia in rodent models and is relatively inexpensive and safe. Most of the studies conducted on animal model, and just a few of them are on human model. The present study was planned to evaluate the effects of curcumin supplementation The effect of curcumin supplementation on anthropometric indices, insulin resistance and oxidative stress in patients with type 2 diabetes
