Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your question.
Noted your concern.
Tablet Zincovit contains micronutrients (minerals & vitamins).
It directly donot have any effect on blood sugar levels.
Whatever your blood sugar levels it is the effect of anti-diabetic medicines (Metformin & insulin) & lifestyle modification (Diet & Exercise).
With good nutritious diet such a long duration of micronutrients may not be useful, though it may not be harmful.
Keep following diet, exercise with regular use of antidiabetics with periodic follow up with your treating doctor.
Hope this helps you.
