      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: In this research, random sequences will be generated using the Random generator program. Based on the method of random blocks and considering blocks of four, 33 blocks will be produced for 132 patients. After generating the list, each person will be assigned a unique code and will be identified with this code during the study.
Allocation concealment will be done using sealed envelopes (SNOSE). Based on the size of the research sample, several aluminum envelopes will be prepared and each of the randomly generated sequences will be recorded on a card and the cards will be placed in the envelopes in order. In order to maintain the random sequence, the outer surface of the envelopes will be numbered in the same order. Finally, the lid of the envelopes will be glued and will be placed in a box respectively. At the start of the intervention, the envelopes are opened in order and the assigned group of that participant is revealed, Blinding description: People evaluating the outcome (evaluators) and analyzing the results do not know the type of treatment assigned to the patient. In fact, the data analysis will be done by a statistics and epidemiology expert, without knowing what treatment the patients in group A and B have received. Also, a gynecology resident (outcome assessor) will measure and record the primary and secondary outcomes of patients in both groups without knowing that patient has received metformin or insulin treatment.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: Administration of oral metformin 500 mg tablets (Tehran Chemie Pharmaceutical co.) once a day until the end of pregnancy. Intervention 2: Control group: Subcutaneous administration of long-acting insulin (Detmir or Lumir, Novo Nordisk) at a dose of 0.5-1 unit per kilogram once at night,  in patients with high fasting blood sugar and in cases of high post-meal blood sugar, administration of short-acting insulin (Aspart or Novorpid, Novo Nordisk) at a dose of 0.5-1 unit per kilogram before each meal until the end of pregnancy.</i_freetext>
