      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Supportive, Randomization description: Stratified randomization by minimization method: in this method, initially, the patients will categorize based on key variables, such as Michigan neuropathy questionnaire score and HbA1C variables. Afterwards, from the patients who 
will meet the inclusion criteria, the first participant will place in the intervention or control group by coin flip, and other participants will allocate to the study group with lower total of variables, Blinding description: Drugs and placebo are similar in shape, packaging, color and smell. In order to blind patients, the pharmacist is asked to identify the drug and the placebo with numbers one and two so that the researcher does not know about the content of the capsules (drug or placebo). Patients are also given the capsules numbered 1 and 2 and the patient also doesn't know about the content of the capsules. The blinding will also be available for the analyzer, and after completing the analysis, the pharmacist will be asked to disclose the content of the capsules.</study_design>
