Can Vitamin Supplements Be Taken For Nerve Damage, Hair Loss And Swollen Feet?
Hi, I am a recent diabetic 2 but have not taken any insulin in almost 3 years since I control my sugar counts. What vitamins should I take that are good for nerve damage, some hair loss, and swelling in my feet from taking other prescriptions (Metformin)? Thank you. Marie in CT.

Hello,
Control your sugar(insulin or oral drugs) to prevent peripheral neuropathy and diabetic foot.
Take diabetic diet, fresh vegetables and milk products. Methylcobalamin B12 (1500 micrograms daily), vitamin e(200 mg daily) and calcium pantothenate will be good choices.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
