Vitamin D levels 10 ng ==> 52 ng after 12 weeks with improved insulin sensitivity

Diabetes and non-daily intervention

Overview Diabetes and vitamin D contains the following

  • Diabetes is 5X more frequent far from the equator
  • Children getting 2,000 IU of vitamin D are 8X less likely to get Type 1 diabetes
  • Obese people get less sun / Vitamin D - and also vitamin D gets lost in fat
  • Sedentary people get less sun / Vitamin D
  • Worldwide Diabetes increase has been concurrent with vitamin D decrease and air conditioning
  • Elderly get 4X less vitamin D from the same amount of sun
        Elderly also spend less time outdoors and have more clothes on
  • All items in category Diabetes and Vitamin D 536 items: both Type 1 and Type 2

Diabetic Epidemic

  • Step back to 1994. Suppose an epidemic struck the United States, causing blindness, kidney failure, and leg amputations in steadily increasing numbers.
    Suppose that in less than a decade's time, the epidemic had victimized one out of every eight people
    That epidemic is real, and its name is diabetes, now the nation's sixth leading cause of death.

Introduction The interplay of vitamin D and glucose metabolism is an area of ongoing research. The need for vitamin D supplementation trials in individuals with prediabetes and hypovitaminosis D has been stressed by earlier research studies. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of vitamin D3 supplementation on oral glucose insulin sensitivity (OGIS) index in patients with prediabetes and hypovitaminosis D.

Methods We enrolled 120 individuals with prediabetes (ADA definition) and hypovitaminosis D (vitamin D < 30 ng/mL) and randomized them into the vitamin D supplementation (60,000 IU weekly) group and the placebo group. Primary outcome measure (i.e., 2-hour OGIS index) and secondary outcome measures (i.e., fasting and postprandial blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, body mass index, and insulin sensitivity indices, i.e., quantitative insulin sensitivity check index [QUICKI] and homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance [HOMA-IR]) were analyzed for change with the 12 weeks of intervention.

Results A total of 52 subjects in the vitamin D group and 49 in the placebo group completed the study. Serum vitamin D levels (10.11 ± 2.73 to 52.2 ± 13.14 ng/mL; p < 0.0001) and OGIS index (376.4 ± 39.7 to 391.7 ± 40.7 mL/min/m2; p = 0.011) increased significantly on per-protocol analysis in the vitamin D group. There was no significant change observed in vitamin D levels and OGIS index in the placebo group. Between-group comparison showed a rise in OGIS index (15.3 ± 47.1 mL/min/m2) in the vitamin D group and decrease in OGIS index (-10.4 ± 44.7 mL/min/m2) in the placebo group, and the difference was statistically significant (p = 0.0029). The inter-group comparison showed relative fall in fasting glucose levels in the vitamin D group, with no significant change observed in the other secondary outcome measures.

Conclusions The correction of hypovitaminosis D in subjects with prediabetes led to improved insulin sensitivity as assessed by OGIS index at 120 minutes, signifying the role of vitamin D in glucose homeostasis.
