Summary

The objective of this clinical trial was to understand whether supplementation of Moringa oleifera leaf powder improved glycemic management in Sahrawi women with type 2 diabetes living in refugee camps. The main question sought to be answered was: \- Does daily supplementation of Moringa oleifera leaf powder, in addition to oral hypoglycemic therapy, improve glycosylated hemoglobin and fasting blood glucose? Researchers compared Moringa supplementation with no Moringa consumption to see if Moringa oleifera worked to improve glycemic control. Participants had to: * Take Moringa oleifera leaves daily or abstain from consuming Moringa for 3 months. * Consistently take prescribed oral hypoglycemic agents * Undergo clinical examinations and measurement of biochemical, metabolic and body composition parameters at the time of recruitment and at the end of the study.
