      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Triple blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Other design features: -, Randomization description: At the beginning of the study, the eligibility criteria including BMI, age, and gender will be matched by blocking method. Sixty subjects with diabetic nephropathy will be randomly assigned into either intervention group (okra recipient) or control group (carboxymethyl cellulose recipient), using RAS software, Blinding description: After randomization, the dried extract of okra will be allocated into the supplement group and carboxymethyl cellulose will be given to the placebo group as a capsule. The capsules will be filled without the involvement of the researchers and will be numbered as 1 and 2 codes. The nutrition expert will introduce the capsules with either code 1 or code 2. Until the release of the study results, neither the patients nor the researchers or doctors and statistician will not be informed of the allocated codes. The numbers will be decoded at the study end-point. Therefore, the study will be triple-blinded.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Control group: In this study, patients in the placebo group will receive one capsule containing 125 mg carboxymethyl cellulose for 10 weeks. Diet evaluation will be performed using a 24-hour three-day food record questionnaire (including two mid-week days and one weekend day) at baseline and at the end of the tenth week. Patients will be instructed to refrain from any change in diet, physical activity, type or dosage of their medications during the study. Otherwise, they will be excluded from the study. Patients will be followed up every two weeks by phone call so as to control the use of the placebo and prevent any drop-out . Patients will also be asked to bring the bottle of remaining capsules with them at the second visit. If a patient consumes less than 90% of the capsules, he/ she will be excluded from the study. Intervention 2: Intervention group: In this study, patients in the intervention group will receive one capsule containing 125 mg dried okra extract for 10 weeks. Diet evaluation will be performed using a 24-hour three-day food record questionnaire (including two mid-week days and one weekend day) at baseline and at the end of the tenth week. Patients will be instructed to refrain from any change in diet, physical activity, type or dosage of their medications during the study. Otherwise, they will be excluded from the study. Patients will be followed up every two weeks by phone call so as to control the use of the supplements and prevent any drop-out. Patients will also be asked to bring the bottle of remaining capsules with them at the second visit. If a patient consumes less than 90% of the capsules, he/ she will be excluded from the study.</i_freetext>
