Can you take warfrin and zinc?

I have type 2 diabetes and hypertension and keep hearing how zinc helps control both.  But I am also on warfrin(for life, heredity blood clotting factor) and everything seems to react negatively with it.

I searched all over the web and opinions are running 50/50 on this.  That's why I'm confused.  Thanks for your input.

I have been using Warfarin for about 15 years and take a "senior" multivitamin that includes maintenance levels of zinc.  

Anytime you are considering taking high levels (much greater than the "daily minimums) it is best to check with your doctor.  

You may be a response from a local pharmacist and I'm sure (didn't check) a web search will turn up many opinions.
