Core Tip

Core Tip: Vitamins are a class of small molecular organic compounds that cannot be synthesized or are synthesized in extremely small amounts by the body. Many recent studies have shown that vitamin supplementation plays an important role in inhibiting inflammation, controlling blood sugar, and promoting insulin secretion in diabetic patients. However, the function of vitamin for diabetes remains to be studied. It is clinically significant to explore the effects of other vitamin family members on insulin resistance and diabetes complications.
