Summary

This trial investigates whether drinking fig leaf tea twice a day for 8 weeks, along with a low-glycemic diet, can help protect kidney function in adults with type 2 diabetes and stage 2 chronic kidney disease. Researchers will measure changes in blood sugar, cholesterol, and kidney function markers. The goal is to see if this simple dietary addition can slow the progression of diabetic kidney damage.
