It is believed nutritional supplements are essential for
health, especially for people who have pre-diabetes, Type 2 diabetes or weight
problems. People with these conditions usually have a history of eating
nutrient poor food consequently they suffer from various nutritional
deficiencies. These deficiencies often impair their body's ability to regulate
blood sugar and insulin, and they then increase the risk of developing a wide
range of health problems.
Type 2 diabetes interferes with the activity of many
nutrients.
For instance: people with Type 2 diabetes do not
efficiently convert beta-carotene to vitamin A. Beta-carotene is a beneficial
antioxidant found in fruits and vegetables. Low vitamin A levels often leads to
night blindness which is characterized by poor adjustment to darkness and
bright lights.
