Replies to "Why Vit E should not be use to treat it if you have Type II D?"
o We do not recommend using Vitamin E if you have Type 2 diabetes because the data supporting its use is predominantly in non-diabetics. No conclusions can be made in diabetics. There is a cardiovascular and stroke risk associated with Vit E use in other population studies (which may not be the cause, just a link), and cardiac issues are higher in diabetics. So without evidence, it is a discussion of risk versus benefit.
