Average Rating:

Research from Finland indicates that high doses of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) helps people with type 2 diabetes maintain glycemic control.

A double blind study performed at the Malmi Municipal Hospital in Helsinki found that daily doses of 2,000 mg of absorbic acid improved both fasting blood glucose and HbA1c readings in patients with type 2 diabetes. (Ann Nutr Metab 1995:39(4):217-23)
