Thanks. But it’s all “supposition” isn’t it?
Like me suggesting, “using Lynx deodorant prevents me from attacks by wild monkeys.?”
Someone will Google “deodorant as PPE” and probably read this.

There is a study here that have some evidence that:

Vit D is important in the prevention of islet cell death and might be useful to improve the survival of islet cell grafts.

Vitamin D and diabetes

Regular doses of vitamin D (VTD)—about 2000 IU/d—early in life have been shown to reduce the risk of developing type 1 diabetes (up to an 80% reduction projected over the next 30 years).[1][1] Vitamin D treatment has also improved glycemic control and insulin sensitivity in people with type 1

1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 protects human pancreatic islets against cytokine-induced apoptosis via down-regulation of the Fas receptor - PubMed

Beta cell loss occurs at the onset of type 1 diabetes and after islet graft. It results from the dysfunction and destruction of beta cells mainly achieved by apoptosis. One of the mediators believed to be involved in beta cell apoptosis is Fas, a transmembrane cell surface receptor transducing...

She confirmed (to my surprise) it wasn't mainly the elderly as many would have believed.

That explains why the numbers didn't add up.
But they don't care, their video is going viral.

Meanwhile I checked if diabetes also surged in adults during the pandemic and it didn't,
it only dropped in 2020 when less people visited the doctor:


(The weird spike in 2016 has probably got to do with the administration).

I've gone off Mr Campbell, he should know better, having had some medical training. No point putting up videos if the information isn't reliable or fully explained.
