[QUOTE="kewgirl, post: 91976, member: 20951"] The vitamin D link is very interesting only because we have a new Registrar who joined our Diabetes Team at the local hospital and he has as one of his major interests within Diabetes the effect of Vitamin D on both Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetics. Now all people with diabetes attending the clinic will have Vitamin D blood levels taken with their review blood tests as a baseline before he is deciding what research to conduct (!) or if he can make any conclusions just from the blood results. :idea: “Accumulating evidence suggests that serum Vitamin D levels may be inversely related to the prevalence of diabetes, to the concentration of glucose, insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.” [url=http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00320853]http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00320853[/url] “Several clinical intervention studies also support that vitamin D, or its active metabolite 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D), improves insulin sensitivity, even in subjects with glucose metabolism parameters classified within normal ranges” [url=http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract;jsessionid=D89485090B0D93183D7FA39ECE6A21B2.tomcat1?fromPage=online&aid=5877664]http://journals.cambridge.org/action/di ... id=5877664[/url] The original Times article was short and compact: :D Super-vitamin “Vitamin D is rapidly taking over from vitamin C as the nutrient of the moment. After strong studies indicating its importance in preventing cancer, osteoporosis and heart disease, a new review from Loyola University Chicago this week also points to a role in preventing diabetes, or at least delaying its onset. There is evidence that the vitamin helps to determine how sensitive we are to insulin and how much of the hormone we secrete. But getting enough vitamin D may not be a simple matter of taking tablets.
