Higher dose Vitamin D supplementation and preserving internal insulin production in newly diagnosed children with type 1 diabetes.

“Participants were randomly assigned to receive vitamin D (50,000 international units) or placebo every week for 2 months and then biweekly for 10 months.”

“Vitamin D supplementation improved the insulin secretion capacity of beta cells, as observed by the decrease in the mean fasting PI:C ratio compared with placebo (−0.0009 vs 0.0011; P =.01).

The reduction in %ΔAUC of C-peptide was notably slower with vitamin D than placebo (−2.8% vs −4.7%; P =.03), indicating a longer delay in the loss of C-peptide.”

(C-peptide is a blood marker for internal insulin production.)
