Calcium supplement for diabetics

[Soubhik]

My mother (age- 55yrs) is a diabetic patient with a high TSH level. Which type of Calcium supplement is better for her diet plan?

Is your Mother type 1 or 2? What had her Endocrinologist said? What is the diet plan her Endocrinologist or Dietitian put her on? When was her last appointment?

Type 2 diabetes. Consulted 3 months ago. He suggested to take some regular calcium and vitamin tablets which are easily available in the market. But I want to know which tablet will be best fitted in this condition. as he dont prescribed the name of the tablet.

This is definitely a question for your mum's doctor. Any supplement needs to be discussed in case it reacts or affects current medication. In the meantime for general advice, you should look up Dr. Sarah Brewer is a GP and expert in supplements. I have heard her speak many times and she really knows her stuff.
