Vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent in type 1 diabetes and can aggravate immune dysfunction. In contrast, high-dose vitamin D treatment may enhance the function of immune cells and improve metabolism in type 1 diabetes patients. In this German trial, patients received either a 3-months treatment of 4000 IU (100 \u00b5g) of vitamin D3, followed by a placebo or the sequential alternative. 39 patients (19 women and 20 men) completed the trial. Among others, the research showed a significant decline in insulin needs and significantly improved long-term glucose levels (HbA1C). In conclusion, the daily intake of vitamin D enhances regulating immune cells (Tregs), especially in male patients. Simultaneously, glucose regulation improved in all patients. You can find more details in the study.<\/p>\n<h3>References<\/h3>\n<p>Bogdanou et al.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><a style=\"color: #5aadcb;\" href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/27764529\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Link to article &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary The function of specific immune cells influences type 1 diabetes.
