Nexium will deplete B12, folate, iron, calcium, magnesium and
zinc absorption.
I'd put him on magnesium too. Diabetics lose magnesium in the urine, and he is borderline. Males should not supplement iron, unless a doctor suggests it from tests.
He might also benefit from whey protein shakes. Nexium impairs protein digestion, and hence protein may become low in people using it long term. Whey protein is predigested and assimilated as amino acids. This may help the A1C.
