Posted on Fri, 13 May 2016
Question: I am diabetic. Besides Insulin and Metform I was taking Zincovit tables daily for the last two years. Of recent, my fasting sugar is around 70 to 80. Is this related to my taking Zincovit tables as I read from the side of effects Zincovit that longer usage of this table will reduce blood sugar.

Brief Answer:
Zincovit is a nutritional supplement.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your question.
Noted your concern.

Tablet Zincovit contains micronutrients (minerals & vitamins).
It directly donot have any effect on blood sugar levels.

Whatever your blood sugar levels it is the effect of anti-diabetic medicines (Metformin & insulin) & lifestyle modification (Diet & Exercise).

With good nutritious diet such a long duration of micronutrients may not be useful, though it may not be harmful.

Keep following diet, exercise with regular use of antidiabetics with periodic follow up with your treating doctor.

Hope this helps you.

Dr. Abhay Mali.
