Should i take special vitamins ,i have type 1 diabetes ,insulin shots every day?
Some doctors suggest taking a good multiple vitamin every day .Some women should take calcium. Talk to your doctor and make sure. You do not have to take special vitamins unless your body is low in something. Your doctor will let you know if you have any deficencies, because most doctors test for them every 3 months when you have your blood work done. At least mine does. Don’t take extras unless your doctor tells you too, because you can actually over dose on vitamins and minerals just like you can over dose on any other drug. For instance, too much iron can actually make you feel tired, just like you feel if you don’t have enough of it. Too much vitamin C can make you feel tired too. Having too much of other vitamins or minerals can actually be toxic to the body. If your doctor says you don’t need vitamins, do as he says.
