This really doesn’t tell your average person much of anything.

No, but it does tell folks with diabetic nephropathy not to buy any snake oil with pharmacologic doses of folic acid, B6 and B12.

Not really.

I have family history with diabetes, but it is all Type II.

Was it the Type I or Type II or both that this happened to? Was it evenly divided? How many Type I with kidney problems? How many Type II? Or was there only one Type II?

Doesn’t say. The Types aren’t interchangeable. Different conditions cause them to exist. It matters, as far as I know and understand.

That is the problem with studies like this. Scare people out of vitamins, with not a lot of science behind it. This is a VERY SMALL case study.

I find it inconclusive. And with the broadness of their pronouncement, it concerns me this is done with such little evidence. It is not good science.
