      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Other design features: Statistical analysis of data will be performed using SPSS statistical software version 20. To describe the data from the mean and standard deviation and absolute and relative frequency and for the analytical part after the normality check of the data using Kolmogorov-Smirnov test from independent two-sample t-test, ANOVA, and in case Relevant parametric bread tests will be used for data abnormality, Randomization description: Randomization of patients is done by balanced block randomization method with blocks with size of 4. For allocation concealment group names will be placed in envelopes. the envelopes will be numbered from 1 to 80 and will be put in the box, respectively. The researcher who makes the random assignment will be aware of the contents of the envelopes. The content of the envelopes indicates the study groups. After ensuring that sample enters the research and obtains written consent, The first envelope is elected in order of numbers and patient is appointed in one of the study groups according to the contents of the envelope, Blinding description: The present study is a single-blind study in which the two drugs studied in this study in terms of all physical characteristics, including; Shape, color, taste, size and packaging are simulated to enable blinding at the participant level.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: First, the studied variables are evaluated before the intervention, then this group will receive metformin (N,N-dimethylbiguanide) with the chemical composition of C4H11N5 and a dose of 500 mg produced by Dr. Abidi Pharmaceutical Company orally. As they will be explained in the first visit, they should take half a tablet (250 mg) in breakfast and lunch for the first 2 weeks, and after two weeks, they will return again to order the use of one metformin tablet (500 mg) to receive .After two months of treatment, they will come again to check for the desired variables. Intervention 2: First, the studied variables are evaluated before the start of the intervention, then this group will receive Livergol drug (dried extract, sage extract) at a dose of 140 mg produced orally by Dr. Abidi Pharmaceutical Company. In the first visit, this group will be instructed to take one tablet (140 mg) daily for two months and to refer again after two months to check the desired variables.</i_freetext>
