The development of diabetes exacerbates the body's need for vitamins
Vitamins for diabetes are required for people of any age. Studies have shown that most people in Russia are constantly experiencing an acute shortage of those or other vitamin. If it concerns healthy people, then, what to say about those who suffer from diabetes.
In addition, people who suffer from this disease should adhere to a constant diet. This is another factor that prevents the intake of necessary minerals in the body. In general, in most cases, additional vitamins are a vital need of the patient.
Antioxidants in diabetes
The two main causes of diabetes are lipid peroxidation and excessive formation of free radicals. If healthy people maintain an equilibrium between the rate of lipid peroxidation and the activity of the antioxidant system( which is vitamins C, A and E), then the patient with diabetes mellitus is disturbed.
The rate of formation of free radicals in patients is much higher than the rate of their neutralization. Therefore, in the treatment of diabetes is often prescribed vitamins A and E, C, selenium, lipoic acid. All of them in the first place are needed in order to eliminate the oxidative stress of the body.
Benefits of Vitamin A or Retinol

Ascorbic acid or vitamin C
Vitamin C in the human body performs a huge number of functions. For example, it is capable of restoring metal ions, which are part of many enzymes, to neutralize free radicals.
In patients with diabetes, the content of this substance is reduced in serum and blood plasma. Therefore, it is necessary to include it in the treatment process. Vitamin C in diabetics will reduce the rate of cataract development.
Tocopherol or vitamin E
Vitamin E in diabetes is not less necessary. He will lead free radicals. During the treatment of diabetes, even special therapy is performed with the use of this vitamin. It is needed in order to:

The price of a drug for diabetics is usually very affordable. The effect that the reception of this or that vitamin will have will be very pronounced and will benefit the patient.

Selenium also helps reduce blood glucose levels.
Competent combination of vitamins and minerals
For diabetics it is very important to choose such complexes, the components of which would perfectly match each other. It is known that with the simultaneous use of certain vitamins and minerals can affect each other. In other cases, this influence can not be called positive. Antagonistic or synergistic combinations of nutrients will help reduce or increase the effectiveness of vitamin prevention.
In any disease, very important attention should be paid to proper and nutritious nutrition. With diabetes, it is also not a recommendation, but a rule. Observance of diet and active physical activity will help the patient to get in shape, feel cheerful and well. But with all the loads and diets, it is very important to ensure that the necessary mineral substances enter the body. Do it in the right amount.
