Vitamin D Supplementation Linked to Lower Blood Sugar in Prediabetes Study
A recent study suggests that vitamin D supplementation may help lower blood sugar levels in individuals with prediabetes. The research, published in the Journal of the Endocrine Society, analyzed data from 10 clinical trials involving nearly 4,500 participants. The findings indicate that 18.5% of those who took vitamin D achieved normal blood sugar levels, compared to 14% who took a placebo. Experts believe that vitamin D may support blood sugar management and reduce insulin resistance, a precursor to type 2 diabetes. However, the study's authors caution that vitamin D should not replace medical treatments but could be part of a broader diabetes prevention strategy.
