What is Vitamin B3

Vitamin B3, also known as niacin, is important for diabetics for several reasons:

• Vitamin B3 helps to improve insulin sensitivity, which is important for managing diabetes. Studies have found that diabetics with low levels of vitamin B3 are more likely to have poor insulin sensitivity, which can make it harder to control blood sugar levels. 
• Vitamin B3 also helps to lower cholesterol levels in the blood, which is important for preventing complications of diabetes such as cardiovascular disease. Studies have found that diabetics with high cholesterol levels are at a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease than those with normal cholesterol levels. 
• Vitamin B3 also helps to lower triglyceride levels in the blood, which is important for preventing complications of diabetes such as cardiovascular disease. Studies have found that diabetics with high triglyceride levels are at a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease than those with normal triglyceride levels. 

Symptoms of mild B3 deficiency include: 

• Indigestion 
• Fatigue 
• Canker sores 
• Vomiting 
• Poor circulation 
• Depression
