      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Supportive, Randomization description: Based on the multicenter nature of this study, a simple stratified randomization method (Based on centers), using individual randomization within each stratum. To generate the random sequence, the RAND function in Excel software(Version 2302 Build 16.0.16130.20186)  was utilized.
The concealment of the randomization sequence took place in a location independent of the study site (drug production unit) without the knowledge of the research staff. Labels containing the code of each center and the corresponding patient number were created, and based on the mentioned random sequence and its matching with the designated product type in the sequence, they were affixed to the box containing the respective drug or placebo, ensuring that the research staff and patients remained unaware of the randomization sequence, Blinding description: Aba Darou Teb company placed Dino supplement and placebo in the unique package and label and the code attached to each package with the same deign and distributed between patients by non-notified person while patients and investigators are not informed about type of drugs. Also, health-care and staffs of clinic are not informed about type of drugs. Also, Outcome evaluator and analyzer are not informed about type of drugs.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: This group takes one Dino tablet daily for three months, which contains methyl cobalamin (1500 micrograms), alpha lipoic acid (100 mg), thiamine (10 mg), pyridoxine (3 mg) and folic acid (0.9 mg). Naturesonly company is the producer of Dino tablets. Intervention 2: Control group: Receiving placebo pill without having any active ingredient with the exact same appearance as the Dino pill, for three months and one a day.</i_freetext>

    <primary_outcome>
      <prim_outcome>Symptoms of diabetic neuropathy. Timepoint: Investigation of parameters would be performed throughout the treatment period followed by visit-I (baseline), visit-II (week 4), visit-III (week 8), and visit-IV (week 12). Method of measurement: Vibration perception thresholds (VPT) through Biothesiometer, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and Neuropathic Pain Scale (NPS) would be used to assess the patients on all four visits.</prim_outcome>
    </primary_outcome>
    <secondary_outcome>
      <sec_outcome>The safety of Dino. Timepoint: safety assessed during the course of study following Visit I (baseline), Visit II (week 4), Visit III (week 8), and Visit IV (week 12). Method of measurement: For the analysis of secondary outcomes, all adverse drug reactions  such as skin rash, nausea, gastrointestinal intolerance, or hypersensitivity to product components will be recorded through examination by the relevant study physician at all study visits, reviewed, and documented in the respective checklist(vital signs checklist) and reported by ADR questionnaire . Other vital signs will also be measured at each visit to detect potential hidden side effects and will be recorded and documented in the respective checklist(vital signs checklist). For instance, pulse rate will be measured using a digital pulse meter. Oxygen saturation will be measured using a pulse oximeter with the brand name Beurer and model type PO30. Similarly, respiratory rate will be manually counted by the researcher, and blood pressure will be measured using an Omron blood pressure monitor with model type M2 and as mentioned, it is recorded in the vital signs checklist.</sec_outcome>
      <sec_outcome>Examination of potential side effects, including skin rash. Timepoint: Adverse effects are evaluated during the course of study following Visit I (baseline), Visit II (week 4), Visit III (week 8), and Visit IV (week 12). Method of measurement: For the analysis of secondary outcomes, all adverse drug reactions  such as skin rash will be recorded through examination by the relevant study physician at all study visits, reviewed, and documented in the respective checklist(vital signs checklist) and reported by ADR questionnaire.</sec_outcome>
