This study, conducted by a university hospital in Shanghai, China, aimed to determine the effects of various doses of vitamin D on glucose metabolism, inflammation, and oxidative stress levels of pregnant women with gestational diabetes. The patients \u2013 133 pregnant women \u2013 were randomly divided into four groups: 1) a placebo group, 2) a low-dosage group, a medium-dosage group, and 4) a high-dosage group. Insulin and antioxidant levels significantly improved after high-dosage vitamin D supplementation. This result suggests that high-dose vitamin D supplementation (50,000 IU=1250 \u00b5g\/2 weeks) benefits pregnant women with gestational diabetes.
