Vitamin D to prevent diabetes?
Already known for its beneficial role on bone, vitamin D may also be useful for reducing insulin resistance, and thus possibly prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes. At least, that suggests a New Zealand study showing that vitamin D supplementation significantly increases sensitivity to insulin.
Among other properties, vitamin D is prescribed to patients for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, with its essential role in bone mineralization. But it would also play a role in insulin, a hormone secreted by the pancreas to regulate blood sugar (glucose) in blood. When the weight, blood pressure, cholesterol increases, metabolism is disturbed (the metabolic syndrome) and the cells become gradually as insulin resistant. This can lead to more or less long term, diabetes (elevated too high and prolonged blood sugar, risk of complications).
