      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Randomization will be done using GraphPad software. So that the random sequence for the two groups will be determined by a person who has no role in other parts of the research using this software. Patients will then be assigned to each of the groups of pioglitazone and carnitine or pioglitazone and vitamin E depending on the clinic visit.
Our colleague will place the group plan in a sealed envelope and present it to the patient to take to the researcher proving the drugs and receive the drug group.
The sequence will remain with the researcher until the end of the study.  
The output of the software is A and B and people will be randomly assigned to each of groups A and B. The labels of groups A and B will be affixed to the intervention packages or placebo by a person who has no role in other parts of the research, and at the end of the study, after statistical analysis, the content of groups A and B will be determined.</study_design>
