"A study by researchers at Tufts University in Massachusetts found pre-diabetic adults with certain variations in the vitamin D receptor gene had a 19 per cent lower risk of developing diabetes when taking a high daily dose of vitamin D."
"Figures show 4.6 million people in the UK have a diabetes diagnosis, but an estimated 6.3 million people have non-diabetic hyperglycemia, more commonly known as pre-diabetes, according to Diabetes UK."
"If left untreated, pre-diabetes can develop into type 2 diabetes, yet vitamin D may help delay or prevent that progression."
Vitamin D is essential for bone, teeth, and muscle health and may also aid in blood sugar control. A study from Tufts University indicates that pre-diabetic adults with certain variations in the vitamin D receptor gene have a 19% lower risk of developing diabetes when taking high daily doses of vitamin D. With 4.6 million diagnosed with diabetes in the UK and 6.3 million with pre-diabetes, addressing this issue is critical to prevent progression to type 2 diabetes.
