The said study is a small one that only included 16 diabetics. But the findings, published in the journal Nutrition Research are potentially interesting, I think:

Daily doses of 1000 mg of vitamin C and 800 IU of vitamin E improved mental function after carbohydrate-rich meals and may protect against memory loss, according to a small study with 16 diabetics published in the journal Nutrition Research.

"Results from this study suggest that postprandial oxidative stress is a potential contributor because deficits in [cognitive performance] after test meal consumption could be minimized by co-consumption of the test meal with high doses of antioxidant vitamins," wrote Michael Chui and Carol Greenwood from the University of Toronto.


But I guess most adults are commonly taking Vitamins C and E, especially those in their 30s and above. But it is good to know that these two common vitamins could be beneficial to those with type 2 diabetes.
