Digital Desk: Several studies have found a link between vitamin D and type 2 diabetes over the years. The latter, a lifestyle illness caused by insulin resistance, is widespread in India, and cases of type 2 diabetes have increased in recent years.
Tufts Medical Center researchers have discovered that higher levels of vitamin D intake may be related with a lower risk of acquiring type 2 diabetes, particularly among persons with prediabetes. Prediabetes occurs when a person's blood sugar level is elevated but not high enough to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
According to a review of clinical trials published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, vitamin D, a fat-soluble vitamin found primarily in sunlight, offers numerous health benefits, including insulin secretion and glucose metabolism.
It was discovered that low vitamin D levels in the blood increased the chance of getting diabetes. Vitamin D is useful in lowering the risk of diabetes in persons with prediabetes.
Diabetes was reported in 22.7 percent of persons who took vitamin D and 25 percent of those who received a placebo over a three-year period, with a 15% relative risk reduction. According to the findings, vitamin D supplementation could help more than 10 million people from developing diabetes.
However, doctors have warned that large dosages of vitamin D might be harmful. As a result, taking supplements without first consulting with a health practitioner is not advisable. Although raising vitamin D levels may lower the chance of developing type 2 diabetes, it may also harm some people.
