The trial was conducted on 70 women diagnosed with gestational diabetes who received either 1000 IU (25 \u00b5g) of vitamin D and 1000 mg of calcium (group A: 34 women) or 250 IU (6,25 \u00b5g) of vitamin D and 500 mg of calcium (group B: 36 women) daily for 6 weeks. Vitamin D levels, fasting glucose (sugar) levels, insulin levels, and fasting lipid levels were analyzed before and after supplementation. The researchers found that group A had significantly lower fasting glucose levels, fasting insulin levels, and total cholesterol levels in their blood. Group B had a significant decrease in fasting glucose level after 6 weeks of supplementation. These results indicate that vitamin D and calcium at a dose of 1000 IU (25 \u00b5g) and 1000 mg, respectively, have a beneficial effect on glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, and oxidative stress levels in gestational diabetes. More details can be found in the study.<\/p>\n<h3>References<\/h3>\n<p>Gunasegaran, Tahmina, Daniel, Nanda<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><a style=\"color: #5aadcb;\" href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/33372392\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Link to article &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary This trial, executed by three Indian research departments, aimed to assess the effects of vitamin D and calcium on metabolic factors and oxidative stress levels in women with gestational diabetes.
