Evidence Suggest

Fasting blood serum decreased by 25.85 mg/dL, indicating improved glycemic control.
Insulin levels decreased by 0.60 μU/mL, suggesting enhanced insulin sensitivity.
Total cholesterol reduced by 38.65 mg/dL, reflecting improved lipid profiles.

Who this applies to

Adults diagnosed with type 2 diabetes
Patients seeking alternative dietary supplements for diabetes management

Keep in Mind

Results may not apply to populations outside the study sample.
Further research is needed to confirm long-term effects.
Coriander seed supplementation should not replace standard diabetes treatments.
