Vitamins, an essential nutrient in daily life, are widely found in a variety of fruits and vegetables. However, if the daily intake is insufficient, it may lead to a series of physical problems.

For diabetics, the importance of vitamins is self-evident. Once the vitamin deficiency in the body is in a state for a long time, it may lead to multiple dysfunctions such as digestion, absorption and metabolism, which will seriously affect the blood sugar regulation and recovery of diabetics.

Next, let's take vitamin B12 as an example to explore the risks of diabetics who are deficient in this vitamin.

1. Substitution disease

Diabetic patients who are deficient in vitamin B12 may experience abnormal blood sugar control, which can induce metabolic diseases that can lead to elevated blood sugar levels, putting the patient at risk.

2. Neurological disorders

Diabetic patients may themselves face the problem of peripheral nerve degeneration, and the lack of vitamin B12 in the body will make this neurological disease aggravated or even worsened, and it is difficult to control.

3. Decreased appetite and anemia

As one of the essential nutrients for the human body, when the body is deficient in vitamin B12, a series of uncomfortable symptoms may occur, such as anemia, loss of appetite, and digestive and absorption disorders. These symptoms are more severe in people with weaker diabetes and can cause severe damage to the body.

Secondly, although most people will pay attention to nutritional supplementation after illness, if they are not reasonable and blindly supplemented, they will often get half the result. So, do you know what to look out for when supplementing with vitamin B12?

1. Take an appropriate amount

When supplementing with vitamin B12 on a daily basis, it should be kept in moderation, as uncomfortable symptoms will only appear after the body's stores are completely depleted, so there is no need to worry too much.

2. Eat a balanced diet

Many people with diabetes have the misconception that they can't eat meat, but in fact meat is a rich source of vitamin B12. Moderate consumption of meat, especially red meat, fish, eggs and dairy products, has significant benefits in the prevention of metabolic and neurological diseases, and has few side effects on the body, helping to improve good health.

3. People with poor gastrointestinal and lifestyle habits should be cautious

一些人可能會選擇通過服用維生素B12片劑來快速補充該營養素，但對於腸胃不好或飲食、生活習慣不健康的人群（如常抽煙和飲酒），這種方式效果可能欠佳，會導致身體吸收受阻，無法充分發揮維生素B12的效能。

4. Choose the appropriate way to supplement

For diabetic patients, targeted vitamin B12 supplementation is required. After it has been determined through a medical examination that the body really needs vitamin supplementation, it can be done through diet, and if the body is extremely deficient, it needs to be improved by medication. This is great for your health. If symptoms such as facial paralysis, crooked corners of the mouth, and facial incoordination have already appeared due to neurological diseases caused by diabetes, it is recommended to take intramuscular injection treatment in time to prevent further deterioration of the condition.

5. Seek medical attention in a timely manner

For symptoms such as facial paralysis, crooked corners of the mouth, and facial incoordination caused by neurological diseases caused by diabetes, it is recommended to treat them by intramuscular injections to prevent the condition from worsening.

Finally, we hope that in addition to diabetic patients, other chronic disease patients and even healthy people can also pay attention to daily balanced diet and healthy diet to avoid irreversible health problems.

In short, as long as diabetic patients pay attention to blood sugar control, reasonable diet and regular physical examinations in their daily life, they can avoid vitamin B12 deficiency. It is believed that with reasonable supplementation and adjustment, the condition will be significantly improved and recovered.
