      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: In this study, diabetic patients will be randomly (block randomization)  assigned to two intervention and control groups based on sex and menopausal (stratified randomization). We will create four blocks of letters T (treatment) and C (control), such that half the letters of each block T and the other half C (eg TTCC, CTTC, etc.). The blocks will be created and numbered then we will randomly select the blocks needed to reach the sample size and we will put them together. Based on the created pattern, patients will be assigned to two intervention and control groups, Blinding description: The supplements and placebos are similar in terms of shape, odor, taste, and packaging, and are labeled by a third person (from experts in the diabetes clinic) in two forms A and B.Patients, researcher and analyst would not know who was receiving the supplements and who was receiving a placebo.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: The patients in the intervention group will receive 1200 mg daily of alpha-lipoic acid supplements in the form of two 600 mg capsules and they will be asked to take capsules every 12 hours 30 minutes before breakfast and dinner for 2 months. Supplements will be provided by Karen critical pharmaceutical and nutritional supplements company. Intervention 2: Control group: The patients in the control group will receive two placebo capsules (maltodextrin) and they will be asked to take capsules every 12 hours 30 minutes before breakfast and dinner for 2 months.Placebo capsules will be provided by Karen critical pharmaceutical and nutritional supplements company.</i_freetext>
