Some doctors suggest taking a good multiple vitamin every day .Some women should take calcium. Talk to your doctor and make sure. You do not have to take special vitamins unless your body is low in something. Your doctor will let you know if you have any deficencies, because most doctors test for them every 3 months when you have your blood work done. At least mine does. Don’t take extras unless your doctor tells you too, because you can actually over dose on vitamins and minerals just like you can over dose on any other drug. For instance, too much iron can actually make you feel tired, just like you feel if you don’t have enough of it. Too much vitamin C can make you feel tired too. Having too much of other vitamins or minerals can actually be toxic to the body. If your doctor says you don’t need vitamins, do as he says.

Special vitamins aren’t necessary, but some of us choose to take some. Here are the ones I take, discuss these with your doctor and see if he recommends any for you:

Alpha Lipoic Acid (circulation and neuropathy relief)
B vitamins, especially B12
Ester-C (immunity)
Fish Oil (cardiovascular health)
Selenium

I also take a small aspirin (81mg) daily and Lisinopril to protect my kidneys.

Unless you want expensive pee…cause that’s where your "healthy vitamins" will go…. If you are a diabetic, you need to focus on your diet and some exercise as well.

i think to be honest that you need to discuss this with your doctor or diabetic nurse rather than ask on here.

Hi prince,i have never taken a vitamin in my life so stick with what your Doctor said kid.Fruit and a little of what you fancy, in moderation,is what keeps me on even keel with being a diabetic.I maybe think you are new to being a diabetic ?
if so you will soon get into a routine that is best for you soon.
Luck to you.

I’d stick to the advise your doctor gave. If you aren’t eating well and healthily however, go back and see your doctor
