      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Random sequence generation will be done by simple randomization and preparing and shuffling cards, so that 270 cards (135 cards with the symbol A and 135 cards with the symbol B) will be prepared and will be placed inside Sequentially Numbered Opaque Sealed Envelops (SNOSE) and will been  shuffled.  According to arrival eligible patients will choose an envelope, so that the relevant group is determined (patients will be unaware of each other's assigned group). The selected envelope will be separated from the rest of the envelopes. This process will be continued until the 270th patient, so that finally 135 patients will be placed in the intervention group and 135 patients in the placebo group, Blinding description: In this study, patients, clinical caregivers and doctors, the main researcher and the outcome assessor will be unaware of the type of medication the patient is taking (Metformin or placebo) and the medication will be delivered to the patient by a nurse.</study_design>
