To this end, 143 patients with symptomatic diabetic neuropathy (damage or dysfunction of nerves due to diabetes) were given a high dose of vitamin D. Questionnaires assessed the quality of life at the start of the trial (before supplementation) and every four weeks. 41.3% of patients were deficient in vitamin D. Treatment with vitamin D resulted in a significant improvement in perceived symptoms and problems related to neuropathy (for instance, emotional distress). This means that vitamin D effectively improves the quality of life in patients with painful diabetic neuropathy.
