[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 1001981, member: 150927"] I looked at my D-minder app at the beginning of a subarctic winter, on Friday I think it was, and read 'You will next get Vitamin D from the sun in 108 days'. UVI reading of 0, of course. I am now in Auckland in Aotearoa, and have seen the sun. Sort of (it's quite cloudy). UVI reading of 10. I will get actual sun exposure to my actual exposed skin! (You have to excuse me, as a new/Swede we get a bit sun crazy at this time of the year. Due to the lack of it in Sweden.) (Go live in Sweden or anywhere at that latitude, for 8-10 years and then you will know entirely what I am talking about :).) I have to worry about sunscreen again. Or making sure I don't get more than 15 minutes of sunscreen-less exposure. And I realised that I forgot to put my liquid vitamin D in a little plastic bag for airplane security folk! No-one said anything. I believe this to be meaningful. (I'm going to be spiritual - the sun is god. God is a sun god! The sun is the source of all life no less!) (That was me being spiritual.) The sun is indeed a truly awesome thing. As long as you respect it, re the malignant melanoma risk factor. (Big in this sunny ozone- holed part of the world.) But with the sun we can grow plants (all year round here, wo ho! lol), and with the sun, and/or a good vitamin D supplement, and fatty fish (as the Scandos well know) - we can get enough of it to help our insulin production (re type 2 in any case) and sensitivity! An excuse to re-post the wonderful explanation of vitamin D's essential initial role in insulin sensitivity: (takeaway quote from below: "If you don't have enough vitamin D it is going to be very hard for your glucose to talk to your pancreas so you can get an insulin release." [MEDIA=youtube]kUxQXeQAEnI[/MEDIA] OK, my religious chant to the sun, and to insulin sensitivity is over. :happy: [ATTACH=full]16613[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
