Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

Vitamin C supplementation plus oral hypoglycemic agents arm

Type 2DM patients receiving oral hypoglycemic agents alone

Arm Description

This group will receive vitamin C supplementation 500mg daily for one month and then assessment will done for the patients.

this group is the control group who receive oral hypoglycemic agents alone

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

improving the renal function
vitamin c supplementation act as an antioxidants which reduce the oxidative stress and then can improve the renal function.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Vitamin C can improve the visual fields
the damage of the eye can be prevented by decreasing the oxidative stress in the eye, this can be accomplished by vitamin C.
