Overview Diabetes and vitamin D

Diabetes: A risk factor is low vitamin D

  • Diabetes is 5X more frequent far from the equator
  • Children getting 2,000 IU of vitamin D are 8X less likely to get Type 1 diabetes
  • Obese people get less sun / Vitamin D - and also vitamin D gets lost in fat
  • Sedentary people get less sun / Vitamin D
  • Worldwide Diabetes increase has been concurrent with vitamin D decrease and air conditioning
  • Elderly get 4X less vitamin D from the same amount of sun
        Elderly also spend less time outdoors and have more clothes on
  • All items in category Diabetes and Vitamin D 454 items: both Type 1 and Type 2

Vitamin D appears to both prevent and treat diabetes

  • Appears that >2,000 IU will Prevent
  • Appears that >4,000 IU will Treat , but not cure
  • Appears that Calcium and Magnesium are needed for both Prevention and Treatment
    • which are just some of the vitamin D cofactors

Increasing diabetes from CDC Diabetes Report Card 2012

(attached at bottom of this page)
- perhaps associated with decreasing vitamin D, even though the word vitamin does not occur once in the CDC publication
It is amazing that there are so many trials trying to confirm that vitamin D intervention can prevent/treat diabetes,
yet the CDC does not have a single word on Vitamin D in their report card.

The figure above shows the percent change in age-adjusted prevalence of diagnosed diabetes among adults aged >18 years in the United States, during 1995-2010.
During 1995-2010, the relative increase in age-adjusted prevalence of diabetes ranged from

  • 8.5% in Puerto Rico to
  • >225% in Oklahoma, with an
  • overall median increase of 82.2%.

The age-adjusted prevalence increased by >50% in 42 states and by >100% in 18 states.
States in the South had the largest relative increase in prevalence, with the age-adjusted median increasing >100%.

Vitamin D Council

  • Children with type II diabetes Vitamin D Council Aug 2012
    Children with T2 were 3X more likely to be vitamin D deficient than children with T1
    Note: only 3,700 children in US are newly diagnosed with with T2 annually
  • Type II Vitamin D Council, Jan 2016
    9.3% of US adults as of 2014, describes symptoms and risk factors
  • Type I diabetes Vitamin D Council Feb 2014
    One of their Patient-Friendly guides. Summary points, 7 recent references
  1. Research has shown that babies with high vitamin D intake during their first year of life are less likely to develop T1D later in life.
  2. Research has shown that pregnant mothers with high vitamin D levels during pregnancy are less likely to have children that get T1D later in life.
    However, this research is less strong compared to vitamin D intake during early childhood and infancy.
  3. Some research has shown that vitamin D may help improve insulin sensitivity and help manage blood glucose in those with T1D, though we can’t say for sure if vitamin D helps at all in T1D.
  4. The majority of studies that have been done so far have been observational meaning we cannot say for sure if vitamin D is a main factor in the prevention or treatment of T1D.
  5. More experiments are needed to clearly answer whether vitamin D supplementation can prevent or treat T1D.

Finger blood sugar tests do not help unless using Insulin

Is the Finger-Stick Blood Test Necessary for Type 2 Diabetes Treatment? June 2017

  • "Blood glucose testing does not offer a significant advantage in blood sugar control or quality of life for patients with type 2 diabetes who are not treated with insulin, according to a study published online by JAMA Internal Medicine."
  • "In the MONITOR trial, 450 patients were assigned to no blood sugar monitoring, once daily glucose monitoring, or enhanced once-daily glucose monitoring with an internet-delivered tailored message of encouragement or instruction for 1 year."
  • "Results showed no significant differences in blood glucose control across the 3 groups. There were no significant differences in health-related quality of life or for hypoglycaemia, hospitalisations, and emergency room visits."
  • "There was also no difference in the number of individuals who had to start using insulin treatment to better control blood glucose levels."

Diabetic Epidemic

  • Step back to 1994. Suppose an epidemic struck the United States, causing blindness, kidney failure, and leg amputations in steadily increasing numbers.
    Suppose that in less than a decade's time, the epidemic had victimized one out of every eight people
    That epidemic is real, and its name is diabetes, now the nation's sixth leading cause of death.

Many Diabetic associations recognize plant-based diets - 2019

Plant-Based Diets Recognized by Diabetes Associations Dr. Greger
5 minute video and transcript

  • "...strictly plant-based diets were “well accepted with over 95 percent adherence rate,"
  • As Dr. Williams put it, the evidence “for the benefits of plant-based nutrition continues to mount.” “This now includes lower rates of stroke, hypertension, diabetes…, obesity, [heart attacks, and cardiac death], as well as many non-cardiac issues that affect our patients in cardiology, ranging from cancer to a variety of inflammatory conditions.”
  • "Reading the existing [scientific] literature and evaluating the impact of plant-based nutrition, it clearly represents the single most important yet underutilized opportunity to reverse the pending obesity and diabetes-induced epidemic of disease and death.”
