Hi
Does anybody takes special multivitamins(like Alfa Betic) and
Hemoxide II?
I'm newly diagnozed(4 weeks ago). not even sure if type 1 or 2
Thank you

Welcome babySlon! I take a One-A-Day for Women multivitamin.

Is your doc doing blood tests to confirm which type you are?
Are you currently on any meds? How are your blood sugars?

I also just take a multi-vitamin. I used to take B6, but have not taken it in over a year.

Welcome to Diabetes Forums!!!!!

I think I'm type 2(metoformin + inculin) + ramipril + beta blocker(heart issues )
I'll see endocr. in a week.
sugars around 4-5 before meal and 4-6 after
it looks like I had it for a bit before I found out(in ER with sugar of 35!)
PS I'm in Canada(rural area) - takes a bit of time to see any specialist

It sounds like T1 to me. Ask the endo to confirm the diagnosis. On the vitamin issue, a multivtamin is probably all you need. Welcome to the forums .

I take a seniors multivitamin. Welcome to the site. Keep us informed of how you are doing. Where are you from. What heart problems do you have?

Have a blessed day. Praying for you.
