Establishing effective referral mechanisms relies on specialized primary care physicians determining the appropriate moment to refer patients to neurologists or diabetic specialists after thorough assessments
People who do not eat animal products or older adults who have Vitamin B12 deficiency will likely have to take Vitamin B12-fortified grains or a daily B12 supplement or a multivitamin that contains Vitamin B12

This showed a pro-oxidant effect of low dose vitamin C in a redox equilibrium and an antioxidant effect at any doses in an oxidative stress state (Dorado-Marnez et al., Graphic 1 Graphic 2 Vitamin C and CNS structure Ascorbate has an important role in the synthesis of collagen and elastin, components of the blood vessels that supply the neural tissue and the basal lamina (Harrison and May, Antioxidant role of vitamin C in CNS The brain consumes 20% of the total body oxygen and has a high metabolic rate, making it a readily oxidizable tissue (Ereciska and Silver, Role in redox balance There is a constant balance between oxidants and antioxidants in the body that helps to maintain redox homeostasis. This means that when there is an increase the production of ROS, the body's response will be to increase of the activity of endogenous antioxidant systems through a mechanism of redox signaling (Valko et al., The antioxidant effect of ascorbate is due to its ability to donate electrons from both the second and third carbon (Padayatty et al., Recycling mechanisms To prevent the loss of intracellular concentrations of ascorbate and other antioxidant molecules such as glutathione, cells have recycling mechanisms formed by exogenous antioxidants and the endogenous antioxidant system
This is not entirely unexpected: previous studies found that the inducibility of honey bee P450s does not necessarily correspond precisely with their metabolic activities as is often assumed from mammalian and other insect studies 14,16,17
