Effects of traditional fermented food (Ash-Kardeh) consumption on blood glucose, blood pressure, and lipid profile in type 2 diabetes: a study protocol for a randomized clinical trial.

Background: Many therapeutic methods are recommended for the management of Type 2 diabetes. Ash-Kardeh contains several components such as flavonoids, antioxidants, and dietary fiber which can affect lipid profile and blood pressure in diabetic patients. However, no study has examined the effects of Ash-Kardeh consumption on blood glucose, blood pressure, and lipid profile in type 2 diabetic patients; therefore, the aim of this study will be to examine the effects of Ash-Kardeh consumption on blood glucose, blood pressure, and lipid profile in type 2 diabetic patients.
