Intervention groups
Population will be comprised of patients with type 2 diabetes with known coronary artery disease that will be divided into 2 groups of 50 patients. 1- Drug group: will be treated with empagliflozin tablet (10 mg/Daily). 2- Control group: will be treated with placebo tablets.
Main outcome variables
1) Changes in plasma Interleukin 6

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Stratified randomization and the randomization unit is also individual. the strata of randomization in this study are Gender, HbA1c and age. Randomization sequence will be created using Winpepi analysis software using 3 strata based on treatment group A or B for 100 patients.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Triple blinded
Blinding description
1- Empagliflozin and placebo tablets have the same color, shape and package with the different code combination numbers (generated by random number table) for the 2 groups of A and B. 2- After enrollment , one code is assigned to each patient , which will be recognized by this code until the end of this study. 3- Patients, Researchers who receive information from patients, assess the outcomes and analyze the data of the study, Physicians and health care providers, The Data Supervision and Implementation Committee, which comprised of Zanjan University of Medical Sciences and Dr. Abidi Pharmaceutical Company will not aware that patients are receiving empagliflozin or placebo In such a way that all of the patients will be evaluated under the unique assigned code and the treatment group of A or B. The mentioned individuals will not know which code is empagliflozin or placebo. The only individual who knows about the patients assigned code and treatment group of A and B will be a consultant that has no communication to patients or the executive team members.
