Vitamin and Mineral Supplements for Diabetes

Wednesday, August 11, 2010 by Dr. Julian Whitaker
If you’re working hard to manage diabetes, it may surprise you to know that one of the easiest aspects of diabetes management is keeping on top of the nutritional deficiencies the disease can cause. And taking nutrients and supplements for diabetes in the proper doses can go a long way toward improving your condition.

The best way to do this is to take a high quality daily multivitamin and mineral supplement. Although the bulk of the vitamins and minerals I recommend are included in most multivitamin and mineral supplements, the amount of each nutrient they contain is often woefully inadequate. Most one-a-day brands contain only the government’s recommended daily allowances (RDAs), which are absurdly low.

Read labels carefully and look for a high-potency formula, or augment individual nutrients to achieve the therapeutic doses recommended in articles posted throughout this blog.
