Summary

Diabetes is a chronic disease and the prevalence of diabetes mellitus is rapidly increasing as a result of population ageing, urbanization and associated lifestyle changes. Recently, the use of natural products in chronic diseases such as diabetes has gained more attention. Chlorella is a single-celled green algae that contains essential nutrients including amino acids and fatty acids as well as some vitamins and minerals. There have been some studies on the effects of chlorella supplementation in chronic diseases such as NAFLD, prediabetes and diabetic mice, but none of them examined the effects of chlorella in patients with type 2 diabetes. Thus the present study designed to evaluate the effects of chlorella supplementation on glycemic control, lipid profile and anthropometric measurements in type 2 diabetic patients.
