Integrative Therapies for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Micronutrient Supplements
This article will focus on the role of micronutrients in the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Micronutrients, including vitamins and minerals, are required for many functions in the body, including glucose metabolism, insulin activity, and prevention of tissue oxidation. Unfortunately, chronic hyperglycemia has been shown to reduce the levels of various micronutrients in the body, which further disturbs glucose regulation and potentially worsens diabetic complications. Over the past few decades, researchers have examined the effects of supplementing these micronutrient deficiencies, and some of the most commonly encountered supplements in clinical practice are reviewed below.

Diabetic Ketoacidosis
Diabetic ketoacidosis is an acute metabolic disorder characterized by markedly increased circulating ketone bodies leading to ketoacidosis in the presence of prolonged hyperglycemia due to an absence of insulin. Diabetic ketoacidosis may present in subjects with Type 1 diabetes mellitus with an absolute or relative insulin deficiency or in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus due to relative insulin deficiency. Diabetic ketoacidosis commonly occurs at the onset of Type 1 diabetes mellitus but also may occur from withdrawal or omission of insulin therapy due to psychiatric, social, or economic reasons or due to increased insulin requirements during an acute illness.
