[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 1759834, member: 365308"] Vitamin D is thought to be more of a hormone in the body (ie.a chemical messenger) and in Winter I think most people are assumed to be D deficient but although I take a big dose I don't notice the difference from when I didn't have it. The reference intakes are set at levels aimed at preventing rickets rather than iptimising health so I think a private test sounds like a good idea if your doctor is one of those that doesn't know or care about nutrition. One puzzle to me though is why in sunny Asia and the Middle East the incidence of type 2 is rising at its steepest? As well as dairy Vitamin D is found in oily fish and oysters so maybe the Vitamin D effect could be linked to an omega 3 vs. 6 imbalance too. Without an interventional type study it is hard to prove and as the article points out no mechanism for the association has been established. If its insulin sensitivity then they would need to measure the insulin response of the cohort at the outset (this would also identify those who are pre diabetic). [/QUOTE]
