      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Crossover, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: In this study, we will use the restricted randomization method (the blocked randomization) using Random Allocation Software. The size of all blocks is equal and in this trial, we will have five blocks of 6 (including 3 participants in group A and 3 participants in group B). Each patient will receive a unique code and the software will randomly place the patients in groups A or B, depending on the sample size in each block.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group A: After randomization allocation, in the first 45 days, group A receives a certain amount of medlar fruit molasses (the dose is determined based on the total phenol content of the product) along with the required dose of insulin. The wash out period is two weeks, during which patients do not receive any intervention other than insulin injection.During the second 45-day period, this group will receive only the insulin they need.Patient demographic information including age, sex, height and weight as well as HbA1c levels are measured at the beginning of the study, day 45 (time of group switching) and the end of the study. Intervention 2: Intervention group B: After randomization allocation, in the first 45 days, this group will receive only the insulin they need. Then the wash out period is two weeks and during this period patients do not receive any intervention except insulin injection. In the second 45-day period, group B receives a certain amount of medlar fruit molasses(the dose is determined based on the total phenol content of the product) along with the required dose of insulin. Patient demographic information including age, sex, height and weight as well as HbA1c levels are measured at the beginning of the study, day 45 (time of group switching) and the end of the study.</i_freetext>

    <primary_outcome>
      <prim_outcome>C-Peptide. Timepoint: To determine the level of C-Peptide in patients, a blood sample is taken from the patient on an empty stomach and at intervals of 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after consuming a mixture of liquid (containing 50% carbohydrates, 30% fat and 20% protein with a standard concentration of 6 ml per kg, up to 360 ml). Method of measurement: ELIZA Reader.</prim_outcome>
