Anti oxidants such as Vitamin C and others are known to slowdown aging.
Do they help in diseases such as diabetes?
Diabetes slowly destroys the body.
can that be reduced with anti oxidants?

Diabetes effects your whole body. The only cure it seems is if you are morbidly obese a gastric bypass may cure you of diabetes.
As to antioxidants your best bet is to check on other studies going on.

Antioxidents help with some of the side afflictions of diabetes such as heart disease. Since diabetes is so nasty as to affect all the body, it manages to damage the heart as well. So if you take antioxidents extra, they may help there.

Did you know that most diabetics die of heart diseases?

Antioxidants can prevent danger to other organs also. Which of them do you prefer? alpha Lipoic acid?

Diabetics also die of strokes and renal failure. So anything that can help your body and blood flow is always good.

much prefer natural sources. I really hate meds with a passion! Wish I didn't have to take any of them.

Most fruits contain much too much sugar content for me to even contemplate eating them.

Would I be reading this forum if I weren't diabetic?
Yes, I am a type 2 diabetic on oral meds and long acting insulin as well as very tight food plan and heavy exercise plan.

Most of the advertisements and suggestions for vitamin supplements, herbal supplements, and instant "cures" for diabetes are that much snake oil!!!

Some are, some are not. It all depends on what carrot does to your BG levels.

Even a few shreds of carrot in my salad sends my post prandial BG numbers over 200.

The best way to find out what a carrot does to you is to test BG, eat the carrot for snack time, after about 2 hours, test BG again!

I test all foods and recipes this way when I have to change meds! Different meds allow different foods.

Journal everything and you will see a definate pattern emerge.
