Hello there,
Amway BioC is a nutritional supplement of Vitamin C and some antioxidants. Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin and it wont excessively accumulate in the body. There are no long term studies that can prove whether this particular Amway tablet has any side effects or not but Vitamin C per se does not have any side effects if taken for long periods. Vitamin C and antioxidants have been proven to help reduce the complications of diabetes to some extent. Do continue to take the diabetes medicines as prescribed by your physician. Continue checking blood sugars regularly.
Take care.
