Abstract
Diabetes type II is a metabolic disorder that usually occurs with increasing age, and is associated with insulin resistance and insulin deficiency. It typically does not require insulin treatment for survival. Omege-3 is effective for diabetes and its linked problems in which cholesterol and other lipid levels increase. Pumpkin seed oil and fish liver oil both show effects for diabetes. This study aims to evaluate the combined impact of fish liver oil and pumpkin seed oil on type II diabetes. Currently, there isn't any research that examines the combined effect of these two oils. The research was conducted on diabetes type II males and females aged 40 or above at Mayo Hospital Lahore. The study design of this research was a randomized controlled trial (RCT). The sample size was calculated and all the participants were divided into two equal groups. The duration of this study was 3 months. Group -1 was the control group, given a Placebo treatment, and Group 2 was the intervention group which was given fish liver oil and pumpkin seed oil. Pre and post-testing were done and the data were analyzed. Results show that fish liver oil and pumpkin seed oil have significant effects (p<0.05) on HbA1c and lipid profile (HDL, LDL, TG) or show no significant results for total cholesterol.
