5 Important Vitamins That Are Good For Diabetic Patients

Diabetes is a medical condition where the body struggles to control the sugar level in the body due to insulin resistance. Some of the characteristics of diabetes are nerve damage, blurry vision, damage to the kidney, damaged blood vessels, and risk of stroke, or even heart attack. According to Healthline, there are important vitamins for patients with diabetic conditions. In this article, we will discuss 5 important vitamins for diabetic patients:

vitamin B1

The first vitamin on the list is vitamin B1. Another name for this vitamin is benfotiamine this helps to prevent and reverse nerve damage caused by high blood sugar. These vitamins are good for those who suffer numbness, damaged kidneys, and blurred vision. Benfotiamine helps to generate more energy so that the nerves can heal and repair. B1 also acts as an antioxidant which helps to prevent your arteries from being clogged.

Potassium

The second most essential mineral is potassium. It is estimated that 9 out of 10 people don’t consume enough potassium. It is estimated that you need 4700mg of potassium every day. You get potassium from eating leafy vegetables, berries, and certain fish. Potassium helps your body to take in more sugar and remove it from the blood. 

Cod Liver Oil

The third mineral that is essential to the body is cod liver oil. This is important because it heals the nerve, blood vessels, and brain. This cod liver oil is full of omega-3 fatty acids. It also helps to build healthy neurons and nerve cells. Foods like wild salmon, sardines, and mackerel contain this mineral. Cod oil contains the highest amount of omega-3 fatty acid which heals swelling because of its anti-inflammatory properties.

B-Vitamin Complex

Another all-important vitamin is the B- Vitamin. It helps to protect the nerve by creating a protective coating around the nerve. The best source of B-vitamin is yeast flakes. Eating this often helps to release nerve pain and boost energy and maintain the normal neurological function of your brain.

Soluble Fiber.

Last but not least is soluble fiber. When you consume vegetable fiber it helps to feed the friendly bacteria in your digestive system. This bacteria helps to reduce insulin resistance, this backs up the research that shows that consumption of vegetables consistently leads to an increase in insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar
