A member asked:
Is biotin safe for diabetics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Safe, but not useful: If you eat a normal diet, the addition of biotin will not help you. However it will not hurt you. Is your diabetes under control? Lipids? Blood pressure? What is your a1c? Have you had an eye exam recently? What is your urine microalbumin? There are a lot of health promoting things a diabetic can do that are proven.
