The answer is: carnitine.

Explanation:

  • Carnitine is a vitamin-like compound that plays a crucial role in the metabolism of fatty acids. It is considered conditionally essential because, under certain conditions such as diabetes, the body's requirement for carnitine may exceed its ability to produce it.
  • In diabetes, metabolic changes can affect the body's ability to synthesize or utilize carnitine efficiently, making supplementation potentially beneficial.
  • Other compounds like coenzyme Q10 or alpha-lipoic acid are also sometimes considered in the context of diabetes, but carnitine is more specifically recognized as conditionally essential in this context.
