Is it safe for a type 1 diabetic to take multi vitamins. My son was going to buy some yesterday but the box says they matabolize carbohydrates. Does any one know what this means? will they affect his insulin or make his blood sugar too low. ps sorry about spelling?

Thank you for you'r advice , I will get him to do this :)
