[QUOTE="LivingLightly, post: 2620923, member: 572522"] I started taking vitamin C and zinc in the middle of Winter when a wound on one of my shins refused to heal. The injury was sustained some seven months earlier. It's common for wounds to heal more slowly on the lower leg than other sites, especially where there's infection or swelling and of course diabetes doesn't help. That said, this was a superficial wound, the initial swelling had long subsided and there had never been any sign of infection, yet I seemed to be making no progress. Fearing that diarrhoea, a side effect of metformin, might be interfering with vitamin and mineral absorption, I decided to try a course of vitamin C and zinc tablets. Within a month, the wound had healed completely. [/QUOTE]
