A member asked:
I was wondering what wuld be a good multivitamin for my father who'se suffering from diabetes and aged 55?

Several: Without naming brands, I would generally recommend a general multivitamin, with a good mix of minerals and iodine. There are acceptable generics for most of the big name brands. If there are specific vitamin deficiencies, those must be addressed individually.

Most are the same: There are no multivitamins specifically designed to supplement those with diabetes. If you read the labels on multi-vitamins you will see that they are mostly the same formulation. So any one out there would do the job. Have your father discuss with his diabetic Dr. if he needs special supplementation in addition to a multivitamin.
