Vitamins

Diabetic nutrition includes multivitamin supplements to help prevent deficiencies that can lead to high blood sugar

To get all the vitamins and minerals your body needs, your diet must include a wide variety of foods, including whole-grain products, fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy products, nuts, seeds, eggs, and meats. But if you're skipping meals, dieting, or not eating enough items from a particular category, such as vegetables or dairy products, then a multi-vitamin supplement will help insure your body gets what it needs for proper blood sugar metabolism.

Vitamins fall into two categories: fat soluble and water soluble. The fat-soluble vitamins — A, D, E, and K — dissolve in fat and can be stored in your body. The water-soluble vitamins — C and the B-complex vitamins (such as vitamins B6, B12, niacin, riboflavin, and folate) — need to dissolve in water before your body can absorb them. Because of this, your body can't store these vitamins. Any vitamin C or B that your body doesn't use as it passes through your system is lost, so you need a fresh supply of these vitamins every day.
