Suppliments are given basically to people who are not taking sufficient balanced diet or have some specific problems. If you are eating healthy food (avoid processed and packaged food items including beverages) with fruits and vegetables and maintain an ideal weight then there is no need to worry. Go for regular health check-ups with your doctor and do the tests advised. Read more about healthy lifestyle for Diabetic people and adapt the good habits.
