      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Prevention, Randomization description: Eligible participants will be randomly assigned, in a ratio of 1:1, to either Nigella sativa group or placebo group for 8 weeks. Stratified block randomization will be employed to assign subject to each of the two groups. Stratification subdivides patients into those with diabetes or without diabetes and in each stratum, block size of 4-6 will be used with a 1:1 randomization between the two groups in each block, i.e. each block will consist of 2-3 subjects for the intervention group and 2-3 subjects for the placebo group. the predetermined allocation sequence of each block will be based on a computer-generated randomization list. An online program will be used for this purpose (www.randomizer.org). For each stratum, 8 blocks of 4 to 6 will considered and the sequence of patients in each block will be determined using software. Half of numbers in each block will be for the nigella sativa group and the other half for the placebo group, Blinding description: Patients are blinded of the type of supplement they are consuming, but the main investigator who assigns patients to intervention or placebo groups is not blinded. Nigella sativa oil and placebo supplements are given to patients in similar capsules.</study_design>
