Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Effect on Markers of Endothelial Dysfunction(The change in the level of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule ( ICAM) in serum using ELISA kit)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

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Effect on Glycemic Control (Measurement of fasting blood glucose )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)

Effect on Glycemic Control (Measurement of glycated hemoglobin)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)

Effect on Lipid Profile ( Measurement of TC,TG, HDL-C,LDL-C)three months

it will be assessed at baseline and after three months of treatment

Effect on Inflammatory Status ( Measurement of High sensitive C-Reactive Protein using ELISA kit)three months

it will be assessed at baseline and after three months of treatment

Effect on Quality of Life ( Using Diabetes-39 questionnaire )three months

it will be assessed at baseline and after three months of treatment
