Is taking supplements worth while, specifically for a type ii diabetic?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Supplements: There are hundreds of suuplements, what suuplements you are asking for in type 2 diabetes.As a general rule a good once a day vitamin and mineral formula, omega 3, are alright to take.But others are controvertial.You should have your vit d level done and if it is low you need to take vit d as well.For others talk to youe doctor.
