AB  - AIMS: This study aimed at assessing the effects of chamomile tea consumption on 
      glycemic control and serum lipid profile in patients with type 2 diabetes 
      mellitus (T2DM). METHODS: This single-blind randomized controlled clinical trial 
      was conducted on 64 individuals with T2DM (males and females) aged between 30 and 
      60 years. The intervention group (n = 32) consumed chamomile tea (3 g/150 mL hot 
      water) three times per day immediately after meals for 8 weeks. The control group 
      (n = 32) followed a water regimen for the same intervention period. Fasting blood 
      samples, anthropometric measurements, and 3-day, 24-h dietary recalls were 
      collected at the baseline and at the end of the trial. Data were analyzed by 
      independent t test, paired t test, Pearson correlation test, and analysis of 
      covariance. RESULTS: Chamomile tea significantly decreased concentration of HbA1C 
      (p = 0.03), serum insulin levels (p < 0.001), homeostatic model assessment for 
      insulin resistance (p < 0.001), total cholesterol (p = 0.001), triglyceride (p < 
      0.001), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p = 0.05) compared with control 
      group. No significant changes were shown in serum high-density lipoprotein 
      cholesterol levels in both groups. CONCLUSION: Chamomile tea has some beneficial 
      effects on glycemic control and serum lipid profile in T2DM patients.
