This started from another thread discussion around vitamin c and covid 19. I thought I might be good to have these all together in one place for ease of reference.
Some papers and articles I found in my exploration about the benefits of vitamin c to diabetes in general - more to follow
https://www.diabetes.co.uk/news/201...ucose-levels-in-type-2-diabetes-95348957.html
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3254006/. Decreased PLasma Ascorbic acid levels were found in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This level was reversed significantly after treatment with vitamin C along with metformin compared to placebo with metformin. FBS, PMBG, and HbA1c levels showed significant improvement after 12 weeks of treatment with vitamin C.
https://www.dovepress.com/effects-o...s-mellitus-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-NDS Studies suggest an association between vitamin C deficiency and diabetes. An association between vitamin D and insulin resistance has been well described; however, the role of vitamin C and D supplementation in diabetes and its prevention requires further controlled trials.
and this was a paper specifically in relation to covid 19 and which form of vit c works best, they obtained a totally UNEXPECTED result showing that oral ascorbic acid is absorbed more efficiently and in higher quantities than sodium ascorbate. https://www.evolutamente.it/covid-1...he-ascorbic-acid-connection/?fbclid=IwAR2TEk9 lots of details about mechanisms that I got a little lost in.
