Consideration of the presence of inflammation is essential for interpretation of serum micronutrient results

Emma Osland
It was with great interest I read the recent contribution by Christie-David and Gunton, ‘Vitamin C deficiency and diabetes mellitus – easily missed?’ [1], outlining their retrospective cohort study in 11 patients with poorly healing foot ulcers in the setting of diabetes mellitus. Their findings suggest previously unrecognized vitamin C deficiency may have been a contributing factor to the ulcers that were being treated in their clinic; a hypothesis supported by the healing reported to occur within 3 weeks of the commencement of vitamin C replacement [1].
