Background: Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) impacts health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Cross-sectional studies suggest that low levels of vitamin D (VD) may impair HRQoL, however, the effect of VD supplementation on quality of life in T1DM patients has not yet been clarified. Our study evaluated the effects of high-dose VD supplementation on HRQoL in T1DM.

Article Synopsis
  • Vitamin D deficiency is linked to various health issues, and its impact on blood pressure in diabetic patients remains debated.
  • This study assessed the effects of high-dose vitamin D supplementation on blood pressure in 35 normotensive patients with Type 1 diabetes over 12 weeks using 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
  • Results indicated a significant reduction in both systolic and diastolic morning blood pressures, suggesting a potential benefit of vitamin D supplementation for managing blood pressure in these patients.
