Overview

Narrative review links vitamin D supplementation with improved metabolic control in diabetes types and gestational diabetes, suggesting potential benefits.

Key Points

  • Vitamin D supplementation may improve metabolic control in type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes, with important implications for patient care.
  • In type 1 diabetes, vitamin D is associated with lower incidence rates, improved glycemic control, and protection against autoimmune destruction of β-cells.
  • Observational studies indicate that vitamin D deficiency worsens metabolic control in type 2 diabetes, potentially impacting insulin sensitivity and β-cell function.
  • Gestational diabetes is connected to low maternal vitamin D levels, highlighting the need for sufficient vitamin D to support glucose homeostasis during pregnancy.
