In patients with prediabetes or diet-treated type 2 diabetes, an 8-week regimen of high-dose vitamin D does not appear to confer any significant benefits to beta-cell function, insulin sensitivity or glycemic control, according to recent findings.
Henrik Wagner, a PhD student at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, and colleagues evaluated 44 patients with prediabetes or diet-treated type 2 diabetes recruited from the Stockholm Diabetes Prevention Program to determine the effect of high-dose vitamin D3 treatment on beta-cell function,insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance.
Participants were randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups: vitamin D3 30,000 IU administered orally once a week (n = 21) or matching placebo oil (n = 22). Initial dosing was given at the randomization visit, the fifth dose was administered at the half-time assessment and the participants took the remaining six doses at home.
