Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the information given. i do not understand the relationship between Pantoprazole and diabetes treatment.
You have mentioned fasting and PP (?) glucose level but no HbA1c5. So it is difficult to comment.

You can not call fasting blood sugar 124 in a diabetic patient as hyperglycemia to add more medicine.

I do not prefer to take any vitamin pill if there is no deficiency. But if you want to take then any brand you can take all are equal.
