Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the impact of high-dose vitamin D (VD) supplementation on blood sugar levels in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM), finding that overall glycemic control did not improve significantly after the treatment.
- - Out of 67 patients, only 46 met the study criteria, and while the general results showed no change in HbA1c levels, a subgroup of 13 patients did experience a notable reduction in HbA1c.
- - The research indicated a correlation between vitamin D levels and both HbA1c and total insulin dosage, suggesting that while VD supplementation isn't universally effective for glycemic control, it may offer benefits for some specific patients.
