Nutrient Deficiencies: The Impact on type 2 Diabetes

A recent study revealed alarming nutrient deficiencies among Type 2 diabetes patients, with vitamin D being the most common. This deficiency severely impacts insulin sensitivity and heightens risks of complications. Additionally, magnesium loss due to diabetes creates a harmful cycle for blood sugar control. Many patients on metformin experience vitamin B12 depletion, which can lead to nerve damage. The discussion emphasizes dietary changes and monitoring micronutrient levels to improve diabetes management and overall health.
