Micronutrients may be needed in tiny amounts, but they play an enormous role in how your body functions, including how it processes glucose and responds to insulin. And research suggests that deficiencies in several important vitamins and minerals are common in people with type 2 diabetes and prediabetes.

In this episode, Dr Jedha explores why these deficiencies occur and takes a closer look at vitamin D, magnesium, vitamin B12, vitamin C, and other important nutrients. Micronutrients are important for diabetes!

You'll also learn why food quality matters, when supplements may be useful, and why good diabetes nutrition isn't only about reducing carbohydrates. It's also about giving your body the nutrients it needs to function at its best. When you do that, blood sugar and metabolism have the neccesary fuel to heal, rebalance and renew.
