[QUOTE="Dillinger, post: 1090014, member: 13582"] Multivitamin tablets are probably not worth it. However there are some very good reasons for supplementing with certain specific vitamins/vitamin like substances such as Thiamine (B1) and Alpha Lipoic Acid. If you are in the UK you are probably deficient in vitamin D and so supplementation with D3 seems sensible. It won't improve your diabetes but it may improve your general immune system. Here is a good and detailed list of a variety of studies on different supplements and how they impact diabetics. [URL]http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/20144672.php[/URL] Some people find things like chromium or cinnamon useful; you need to decide for yourself if you want to try those. I would certainly carefully consider adding B1, D3, Alpha Lipoic Acid and probably magnesium to your diet. Subject to costs and your own views on those. All of these are not 'magic bullets' or cures but they may swing the odds against complications a little way back in our favour so should be considered. Best Dillinger [/QUOTE]
