Sunshine vitamin or more popular as Vitamin D. Studies shows that vitamin D is present in the insulin producing Beta cells of the pancreas, hence it was theorized that it has a direct effect on the production of insulin in our body. Diabetes is an auto- immune inflammatory disease which affects millions of people around the world. According to Julie Lichty Balay, MS, RD, a Nutritionist Dietitian on JLB Nutrition, Vitamin D, together with calcium, are both shown to reduce the inflammatory chemicals in our body called cytokines. Vitamin D may also help in activating the insulin receptors of our cells and can help in the regulation of glucose levels in the body.
Taking your daily maintenance drugs and lifestyle modification are still the best way to manage your diabetes.
