The sugar molecule sorbitol is known to be one of the major factors behind many health complications facing diabetics. When sorbitol accumulates in the body in unusually high concentrations, it can cause cells to "leak" vital amino acids, minerals and vitamins, sapping the body of necessary nutrients and raising the risk of many health problems. In particular, studies have linked high concentrations of sorbitol in the body to diabetic vision problems, nerve damage and weakened kidneys. To prevent sorbitol accumulation, diabetes experts recommend supplementation with vitamin C. Studies have shown that taking daily vitamin C tablets works effectively to flush sorbitol from the system where even some powerful prescription medications have failed.

Thanks for sharing, I know that we have several diabetics in our community. I had read one time that vitamin is one of the only vitamins that our body does not store. That is the reason for the increased need. Lots of oranges!!

Thank you so much for sharing this important information with us. I was completely unaware that Vitamin C can flush excess sorbitol from the body. That is great news for diabetics!

That is great that he keeps up with it. I know some men do not eat healthy enough and pay the consequences later. Pat him on the back for a job well done!
