Can a multi vitamin cause a type 1 diabetic to have vision changes?
My son, 32, is a type 1 diabetic. He decided to start taking multi vitamins. He took one in the morning without eating breakfast first and started see “double.” He then threw up twice and felt better and his vision returned to normal. This was scary. A: Yes quite possible. The vitamin industry is completely unregulated and who really knows whats in there. I was once big on a multi but have since changed my thinking because of what you mention and liver problems. Vitamins on an empty stomach are quite unpredictable. Have him eat a healthy diet and maybe include a B complex and C, an occasional Magnesium, maybe a D. See how that goes. I personally think certain multi vitamins can change and interrupt the workings of the organs and especially the liver, such as chromium which is abused in diet pills as it drives the insulin levels, almost criminal in my opinion.
