I have had this discussion with a Diabetic Dietitian on a number of occasions.

The simple answer is a "multi-vitamin" is of little to no value if you are looking for it to help with your diabetes.

That doesn't mean that you can't select "some" vitamins, minerals or supplements to try and improve "your" overall health and metabolism but there isn't a "list" that will work on a broad group of diabetics.

The dietitian always gives the same (standard) answer - "if you eat properly you don't need to supplement anything". And while that is true, if you are watching your carb intake as part of your overall treatment plan it becomes very challenging to get "enough" vitamins and minerals in some cases.

So you really need to figure out "what you are missing". If you don't get a lot of dairy you are almost certainly going to be "somewhat" calcium deficient. Calcium helps you release insulin and every type 2 needs help with that. Now that doesn't mean you eat calcium tablets like tic-tac's, but if you don't think you are getting the "RDA" (recommended daily allowance) that is a supplement that might benefit you that will "very minimally" help your diabetes.

Vitamin C, D, E and Folic acid are also important for diabetics. Again, if you don't intake a lot of dairy, which is generally boosted with Vitamin D, then you can take a combination "vitamin D with calcium" tablet once a day - they make them probably knowing that there are some that don't get enough dairy.

And finally, since Type 2 is "metabolic", anything that can boost your metabolism or make it more "efficient" will have "some benefit". So fiber supplements (none of can ever eat enough to get to the recommended 38 grams a day) and/or a probiotic will help digestion which will slow the uptake of carbs which will result in lower blood sugar spikes - but again just "a little".

But if you are looking for any of these to make a "noticeable and measurable" difference you will be disappointed.

When you put together the supplements, diet, avoiding carbs, not cheating on your diet, getting some exercise and taking your meds "on time and in the correct dosage" (if you take any), that "collective" will allow you to manage your diabetes better.

These type of questions can be asked to a pharmacist, whatever they sell in their pharmacy they need to know what they are for and any side effects. They can also check your file to see if any supplements will interfere with your medications or not. Pharmacist know more about pharmaceuticals then most doctors do. Doctors follow guidelines to prescribe once they diagnose you, but after that pharmacist can inform you about medications & supplements.
