You may have just saved my life with this video! I take 1000mg of Vitamin C DAILY and have been seeing high readings when I feel normal or even low! THANK YOU!!!!

Thank you Dr. Ergin! after following many of your educational video my sugar level has improved tremendously I.e Fasting blood sugar test at last check up 6 months ago with 6.6mmol/L now 5.1, the dark red purple marks on my right ankle has faded and returned to normal skin color. recently tested A1C is 5.4 and the Oral glucose tolerance test is 6.4, previously 11. Hopefully my persistence with your educational video guidance will reverse the title from Pre Diabetes. Once again thank you so very much and God bless.
Thanks 🙏 for the info. I always have suspicions on glucose meter as I get different readings on back to back test of the same blood drop. I just calculate the averages to estimate my blood sugar level because of the inherent limitations on glucose meters
Thank you so very much for the lesson. O think this could be one of my problems because I had thought that I am safe with so much consumption of a lot of vatimin C but I am always recording high amount of sugar instead.
Anyone have any idea of the error factor this adds or is it variable on how much vitamin C you take? Also does anybody know if tylenol affects readings or actually effect blood sugar? Every time I take tylenol my readings are quite a bit higher than usual.
New subscriber.. I did not realize that Vit C is making my reading so high.. Greatly appreciate this info doctor.. Even my endocrinologist is not telling me this even though she is aware that I’m taking it everyday.. She keeps increasing my insulin (both for Tresiba and Novolog and I’m taking 4 tabs of metformin also) but never told me to not take a 1000mg of vit c.. smh
I REALLY need answer for this. I've searched all over but couldn't find answer to it. I need to make decision for my health condition. How about A1C test? Does Vitamin C effect A1C test as well like it does to glucoce meter? I'm wondering if Vitamin C doesn't effect A1C test even if it effects daily glucoce readings, then it's ok to take Vitamin C as long as A1C test done regularly to monitor overall condition. Please clarify this for me. I'm debating if I should cut down my Vitamin C intake whille some suggests that Vitamin C could help controlling glucoce level in general. Thank you.

Thanks for this video Dr. Ergin. I have always taken a numerous amount of natural vitamins and herbs. I actually manage my type 2 diabetes without much Metformin. I eat low carb and Keto and intermittent fasting. Endocrinologist is very happy 😊 with my progress. Last July my A1C was over 14. Now in March it,s 6.2. Hope next month to be lower. Love your video,s! Keep em coming.
Thank you for little hope. Iam also diabetic don’t know what to do. Can you give me little bit more information about diet and life cycle. Your explanation much appropriate.
@MarkoSpeaks, the effect does vary person to person, but typically vitamin C can affect readings for a few hours after ingestion. Always check with your healthcare provider!
And I always thought that it was the Metoprolol, Sucralose and Erythritol that were causing my Blood Glucose readings to be higher. I'll cut down on my Vitamin C intake and see what happens. Thanks for the info, SugarMD! 👍
I wanna make sure that it`s only dangerous with Glucose checking situation. (A lot of missed conclusions are in comment section) LD50 of ascorbic acid is 11900mg/kg. Which means, it has no toxicity at all. Under 10g/day, no harm could be done. As for comparison, another stable material, caffeine has 2~300mg/kg LD50. * Antioxidant don`t always damage the normal cell. Some of tem do, but not ascorbic acid. Because, ascorbic acid is a Antioxidant, but also a reducer. Which means, it helps the reduction in Oxidation - reduction cycle. (this cycle is the basic molecular mechanism in human body) Actually, damaging part is Oxidation, not an reduction. There`s no way that Stable reducer could damaging the cell. *If it does delivers the damage to the cell, 11900mg/kg LD50 can`t be explained. So, if you take high dosage(1~6g/day) of Ascorbic acid, keep going. You have no worries. It is indeed effective and harmless. *Beware of doctors checking! You should tell them about your special intake condition. If not, they could kill you in intention of helping. Reference : The healing factor(Irwin Stone), Biochemistry, Human Biology.
So my take away from this is that Vitamin C doesn't impact blood sugar, just the readings of the meter. Since I am fortunate enough to be able to control my diabetes (so far) through diet and exercise alone, I use my glucose readings just for personal information and to check how I am doing. Thus the only effect of inaccurately high readings is to cause me mild alarm and puzzlement. Now that I know that a reading may be inaccurate (after consuming Vitamin C rich foods), I can take that into account and not be surprised. Thank you for this information.
Hi doctor. Some other people mention that ascorbic acid is only a component of vitamin c. And not the whole complex. But ascorbic acid isnt necessarily the whole votamin c. Just curious on your thoughts
Thank you for your thoughtful input! You raise a great point. Ascorbic acid is indeed one component of vitamin C and is commonly the most recognized form, especially in supplements. However, natural vitamin C also includes bioflavonoids and other co-factors that can work synergistically. It’s important to consider the full spectrum of vitamin C, especially when aiming for comprehensive health benefits. If you're curious about using full-spectrum vitamin C or supplements, it's always a good idea to discuss with your healthcare provider.
O nooooo, I have been taking 2000mg of C sense I had covid last August. Maybe that is why I am so dizzy all the time sense covid. I am also pre diabetic and on metformin. Wow, I am going to cut it down to 500mg. If you think I need to cut it more, then let me know.
Can somebody share their reading before and after vitamin C intake. Remember Vitamin C lasts at least 10-14 days in your circulation. If you truly want to measure after, do it after stopping Vit amin C. According to manufacturers of glucose meters, above 500 affects reading. Also remember absorption varies from person to person.
Vitamin C is recommended by other doctors to HELP immune system in fighting covid with dosage of 5,000 MG of vitamin C. If large doses of vitamin C causes a false reading then what must be done. Is this some kind of fear mongering to stop people from taking vitamin C?
You can still do a mega-dose of vitamin C when symptoms of related viral infection occur at a very early stage to mobilize and super boost the immune system, as your body is about to face an internal war. Nevertheless, the doctor was saying that 500 mg of vitamin C or less may be enough for a daily dosage without any symptoms if you plan to measure your blood sugar without erroneous readings. Do not measure your blood glucose during megadose supplementation because you will get false readings, as the doctor said.
Phillip Brits. 5000 mg a day of vitamin C and not having any issues ? But, are you diabetic ? Are you doing keto plus I.F. ? What meds are you on, Phillip ? And what is your last A1C ? Very interested in your comment !
The vitamin C is a replacement for green vegetables. Stopped eating these in my early twenties, I am now 62 years of age. At that time I subsisted on chocolates ( 2 slabs of 200g per day), only drank coke at least 4 liters per day, eggs and salami for fat and protein. Filled up with chocolate and a glass of coke before bed time. At that time I was very active cycling about 50 km every day, to work and back home). About 12 years ago I stopped using coke and chocolate. Started drinking black bitter coffee. Still love indulging in sweet cheese cake. This tend to lift my sugar to about 8.1. After a few hours this tend to fall to 5.1. Pretty normal readings. My eyesight is 18/20. Still very healthy. Zero so called old age problems. Look about 15 to 20 years younger than my age. Hope this answer your question. @@carolcole570
Thank you Dr. When covid19 started I took a lot of vitamin C to boost my immune system. My brother is pharmacist in Iran and advised me on phone, not to take too much which may lead to kidney stone. I did not listen and now I have one large kidney stone ... open surgery is coming soon which is the only way to deal with large kidney stones.
wow i use to give vita c all the time yet never new this so makes me ? about the vitas that were taking i thought it was ok to take everyday to keep from getting sick yikes thanks for the information
Dr is not saying not to take Vit C, it is still a good immunity vit to take. What he is saying because of it molecular weight , when you take MORE THAN 500 mg of vit C, the meters are thinking it is Glucose ( sugar) and are interpreting it as High sugar, and if you are on insulin you might take too much insulin to counteract and make yourself Low sugar, (because of meter error, not because it was necessary ). From his post, 500mg and less is the recommendation for a more accurate meter reading. Also, take with lots of water. From my reading, it is water soluble, so works better with water.
He is not saying Vit C is no good for you, it is, BUT, the reading on meter will be wacky, ( Higher) , if you take OVER 500 mg. And you need to be aware that if your meter shows higher, the large dose of over 500mg is the cause. So he is recommending taking under 500 mg for more accurate blood meter readings.
You haven't explained the mechanism how Vit C interferes with glucose reading.. ( And pls don't decide yourself how much we want to know.. We want to know a lot more.)
Vitamin C is not ascorbic acid. They are never the same. Vitamin C is a complex vitamin which comprises vitamin J, K, P, copper and ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid is just a subunit of vitamin C and its the least. Best source of vitamin C comes from food. Synthetic vitamin C is just a subunit (ascorbic) and not healthy. Too much of it can actually cause scurvy (vitamin c deficiency).

I know it was advised not to use Tylenol when using Dexcom G5. Tylenol does not affect the Dexcom G6.
If you are a bigger person is it safe to take more than 500mg of Vitamin C daily?
Would the A1C lab test be affected also or just the reading on the meter and strips?
Good question, thanks for asking.
How about Zinc? Will Zinc cause false readings also? If it does what is the recommended maximum MG to take?
No it doesn’t

hello Dr. Sugar
Hi Minnie. Keep on watching!
so are limes and vitamin c pills bad?
Can you also get high vitamin c from just FOOD to show a higher glucose read?
NO. You would have to eat a lot of food......and humans cannot eat that much. 80-90 mg per day is more than adequate.
So my take away from this is that Vitamin C doesn't impact blood sugar, just the readings of the meter. Since I am fortunate enough to be able to control my diabetes (so far) through diet and exercise alone, I use my glucose readings just for personal information and to check how I am doing.

Ok so taking 1500 mg vitamin c won't kill right just the readings would be higher
If we take 500 mg of vitamin c and also eat foods that have vitamin c are we getting too much vitamin c for an accurate reading?
Yes that’s correct

He said vitamin c and glucose are the same molecular weight and glucose meters at home can’t differentiate between glucose and vitamin c.
