The sufficiency of vitamins С, A, E. B2, B$, and carotenoids was assessed in 32 patients of both sexes with non-insulin-dependent diabetes on home diets, in spring 1996. A deficit of group В vitamins (56-66%) and carotenoids (50%) was detected in the majority (68.8%) of examinees, while the levels of vitamins C, A, and E were sufficient. Hence, improvement of the vitamin status of diabetics is a most important component of treatment.
