AB  - BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus is a major cause of death globally. It causes 
      multiple problems in various organs and incurs heavy costs for patients and the 
      community health system.The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of 
      fenugreek intake on fasting blood sugar (FBS), HbA1C, body mass index (BMI), 
      waist circumference, blood pressure and quality of life of type 2 diabetes 
      mellitus (T2DM) patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This randomized, double-blinded 
      clinical trial study was conducted on patients with T2DMin Tehran, Iran in 2018. 
      The treatment group received 5 g of fenugreek powder,and the placebo group 
      received 5 g of wheat flour twice daily for two months before meals. RESULTS: 
      This study was performed on 62 patients (50% male and 50% female). Both groups 
      had similar demographic characteristics. The results showed a significant 
      difference between the mean FBS (P<0.001), HgA1C (P<0.001), BMI (P<0.001), waist 
      circumference (P<0.001), diastolic blood pressure (P=0.005), and quality of life 
      (P=0.015). There was no significant difference in mean systolic blood pressure 
      (P=0.189) between groups. CONCLUSION: Given the positive effect of fenugreek on 
      FBS, hemoglobin, HbA1C, BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure and quality of 
      life, it can be recommended for controlling blood glucose in diabetic patients.
