Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease which deteriorates the quality of life with time. Type 2 DM accounts
for more than 90% cases of diabetes mellitus as compared to other types of this disease. There is significant oxidative stress
in type 2 DM which plays an important role in the pathogenesis of disease. In order to combat this oxidative stress antioxidant
supplements have to be added as add on therapy along with treatment of type 2 DM. Vitamin C is the safest antioxidant
which plays significant role in diminishing the oxidative stress. The vitamin C supplementation have good control of FBS
and HbA1c and therefore helps in achieving better glycemic control along with prevention of lipid abnormalities.
