      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: The sequence of random allocation will be determined by one of the researchers based on the permutation blocking method in two groups A and B, 
 using RAS( Random allocation software) software. the determined sequence will be numbered from number one to 60 from beginning to end, respectively. Capsules (cinnamon and placebo) are placed in 60 pieces in similar sealed and opaque envelopes. Then, each number envelope is assigned to the number of samples, ie from 1 to 60. Therefore, only the researcher who made the random assignment knows what drug each envelope contains. The numbered envelopes are then given to another researcher who is unaware of the random allocation process. Then the samples are received in order and the number of envelopes is received, the medicine is received and the envelope number is stated in the questionnaire. Participants will not be informed of the type of group assigned. After collecting the data, the data is entered into the software based on the numbers and groups A and B, and thus the statistical analyst will not be aware of the type of group assigned, Blinding description: First, 60 envelopes with the same matte shape are prepared. Cinnamon capsules in 30 packs and starch capsules in 30 packs. Due to the uniform shape and uniform consumption of the capsules, participants will not be aware of the type of substance used.
On the other hand, the envelopes will be numbered according to the specified sequence from 1 to 60 and will be given to the participants by a researcher who does not know the sequence. The same researcher will then evaluate the consequences. On the other hand, the statistical analyzer will not be aware of the type of intervention groups.</study_design>
