Vitamin C May Reduce Damage From Diabetes

In a new study on Vitamin C, it was found that oxidative stress can be alleviated by antioxidant activity of vitamin C.  In fact, it helped significantly.  Although the amounts were administered through the blood stream (not by oral over-the-counter treatment), it is promising for the options at treating the complications and injuries commonly encountered in diabetes.

My findings have been similar.  As antioxidants are added to the diet, including vitamins and minerals by supplement or by diet high in fruits and vegetables, diabetic complications can improve.  These are promising findings and more is coming.
