Vitamin C The Game Changer for Type Two Diabetic Patients Suffering from Skin Issues: A Review

ABSTRACT

Vitamin C has long been recognized as an essential nutrient for maintaining overall health, and its potential benefits for individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) have gained considerable attention. This review examines the role of vitamin C as a game-changer in managing patients with T2DM dealing from skin issues. The aim is to explore the existing evidence and shed light on the potential therapeutic effects of vitamin C supplementation. Numerous studies have revealed lower levels of vitamin C among individuals with T2DM, suggesting a possible association with skin complications. The correlation between vitamin C intake and T2DM has been extensively studied, with most research highlighting a strong relationship. While dietary vitamin C intake alone does not entirely account for the decreased levels observed in T2DM patients, the need for vitamin C supplementation in this population has been proposed. This review highlights the potential game-changing role of vitamin C in managing individuals with T2DM and related skin issues. Vitamin C supplementation shows promise in improving skin health, potentially through its involvement in collagen synthesis, antioxidant defense, and wound healing.
