Vitamin D & Diabetes
People at high risk for type 2 diabetes may benefit from taking vitamin
D. In a new study, participants with pre-diabetes were assigned to
take either vitamin D, calcium, both or a placebo for four months.
Researchers then measured how well their pancreatic beta-cells
produced insulin. The vitamin D group had a 15 to 30% improvement
in beta-cell function. Previous studies have also shown that vitamin
D reduces insulin resistance, an early symptom of type 2 diabetes.
If you have a higher than normal blood sugar, ask your doctor or
pharmacist about vitamin D and how much is right for you.
