"Vitamin C, like any drug, can have serious side effects. For
vitamin
C, these effects appear more frequently in people who have iron
overload (e.g., hemochromatosis or multiple transfusions) or who use
unneeded iron supplements."

Go ahead ..
Tell everyone to take vitamin C ..
Make sure you tell them to tell the pharmacist they are diabetic ..
that way the fits won't cause any kind of a 'stir' at the
checkoutcounter ..
Who loves ya.
