Once a person gets diabetes, the vitamins in his body begin to deplete fast. Hence diabetes is also known as a multivitamin deficiency disorder.
Here's what happens when different vitamins deplete in the body.
Vitamin A depletion leads to weakening of eye sight.
Vitamin C depletion leads to formation of cataracts ( motiya in the eye commonly observed in diabetics ) and diabetic itching and allergies.
Vitamin B depletion leads to a number of problems. He-art attacks, Nerve damage and many other problems. Vitamin B12 is especially important for proper nerve functioning. Nerve damage is the leading cause of death in diabetics.
Vitamin D depletion leads to more loss over sugar control. The genes regulating blood sugar are controlled by vitamin D. Deficiency of this vitamin in the body leads to loss of sugar control.
Vitamin K depletion leads to insulin resistance and blood clotting problem. When diabetics get even a tiny scratch on their body , the blood does not stop and the wound does not heal fast. And this is also another major cause of death in diabetics.
Diabetics must essentially take all of the above vitamins and more. Diabetes is a multivitamin deficiency disorder.
These are things your doctors never bother to tell. All they give is the insulin. And some pills. Nothing more.
It is WE who must keep reading and be aware for ourselves and for our family.
