      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: This method is used to prevent noticeable imbalances in the number of participants assigned to each group. Randomized blocking ensures that no significant imbalance occurs between groups at any point during randomization, and that the number of participants in each group is equal at specific points. To implement this method, the block size must be determined initially (e.g., a block of four). In order to reduce the predictability of the randomization process, various block sizes are employed in blocked randomization. For this purpose, we consider 10 blocks of four and 5 blocks of two for the 50 patients who are to be included in the study.

The list of four-person blocks is created, and numbers from 1 to 6 are assigned to them (AABB(1)- ABAB(2)-ABBA(3)-BBAA(4)- BABA(5)- BAAB(6)). Additionally, the list of two-person blocks consists of AB and BA. Finally, treatment allocation is carried out based on the obtained sequences (..., AABB-BBAA-BABA).</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group:  The  intervention group  includes Diabetic patients in whom microalbuminuria has been confirmed, despite standard treatments (Empagliflozin ) , will be undergone oral methylene blue intervention for 6 months. Methylene blue is given to the patient in the form of a sachet to be dissolved in 200 ml of Milk and drunk after one hour. Intervention 2: Control group: This group comprises diabetic patients in whom the presence of microalbuminuria has been confirmed. These patients will receive standard treatment with empagliflozin. Additionally, these patients will be administered 200 milliliters of milk.</i_freetext>
