What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Effect on Markers of Endothelial Dysfunction(The change in the level of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule ( ICAM) in serum using ELISA kit)
Time Frame: three months
it will be assessed at baseline and after three months of treatment ( to determine the change from baseline at three months ) to determine whether it is effective in reducing marker of endothelial dysfunction (ICAM) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
three months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Effect on Glycemic Control (Measurement of fasting blood glucose )
Time Frame: three months
it will be assessed at baseline and after three months of treatment to determine the anti-diabetic effect of black seed oil ( if it is effective in reducing fasting blood glucose from baseline)
three months
Effect on Glycemic Control (Measurement of glycated hemoglobin)
Time Frame: three months
it will be assessed at baseline and after three months of treatment to determine the anti-diabetic effect of black seed oil ( if it is effective in reducing glycated hemoglobin from baseline)
