Vitamin D Deficiency in Diabetes

Vitamin D deficiency occurs when the body lacks sufficient vitamin D, an essential nutrient for bone health and immune function. In people with diabetes, low levels of vitamin D may worsen insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control. Some studies suggest that adequate vitamin D levels could help manage diabetes more effectively. People with diabetes are often at higher risk for vitamin D deficiency, potentially due to limited sun exposure or dietary restrictions. Addressing this deficiency through sunlight, diet, or supplements may support overall health and improve diabetes management. Always consult a healthcare provider before making changes.
