High-dose vitamin D supplementation in pediatric patients with new-onset type 1 diabetes may reduce complications, according to a study.
Benjamin Udoka Nwosu, M.D. randomly assigned 36 children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes to receive either vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol, given as 50,000 international units per week for two months and then every other week for 10 months) or a placebo.
The researchers found that vitamin D was significantly associated with a lower temporal rise in hemoglobin A1c at a mean rate of change of 0.14 percent every three months versus 0.46 percent every three months for the placebo group. Additionally, vitamin D was significantly associated with the functional marker of partial clinical remission, the insulin-dose adjusted hemoglobin A1c at a mean rate of change of 0.30 percent every three months versus 0.77 percent every three months for the placebo group.
"We recommend a baseline estimation of 25(OH)D concentration at the time of diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, and to begin vitamin D supplementation if serum 25(OH)D concentration is <30 ng/mL, to maintain serum 25(OH)D concentrations between 30 to 60 ng/mL," Nwosu writes.

Not to make light of any of this, but I’d swear that we’ve been hearing about Vitamin D’s role in doing a slew of wonderful things over only the past year+... but why hadn’t we heard about all of this over the past — what, fifty years or more??

Because this is more covidiocy followed by anti-Trump BS
Watching young parents these days, I came to believe all other foods that were not chicken nuggets or lunchables were illegal to feed children
Honestly, some of the studies I post could get a small blurb in Prevention, Men’s Health, First For Women, and Women’s World, over the next few months. Unfortunately, they aren’t indexed, skip over a lot of studies, and you’d really need to stay diligent on buying and reading them.
I have been reading such things in electronic and paper form for decades, but never took the time to post, save for the rare few. It took my wife and a friend to encourage me to give it a try for diligently putting them in a more accessible place, trimmed down, with some extra insights.
Too many people on Free Republic were having issues and weren’t consulting publicly available information to help themselves, which sort of cemented my posting trial, for now. It’s more than a little time commitment.
Chicken nuggets.
Excuse me. No
Dino nuggets.
Plenty of ketchup.
Vitamin D supplementation is a must. Take before bedtime for a good sleep.
The other one to take that is cheap is niacin. Take the slow acting form.
I have to relate to “ the word”. Ivermectin, vitamin D, Quarcertin, Zinc and all the vitamins proven to fight Covid that were bad mouthed, discounted, prohibited during the Covid hoax are now being studied. The evil, historic shutdowns and mandates have turned “ lemons to lemonade”.
For those that took the vax, Ivermectin is a proven tool to erase the effects of the MRNA poison that was injected into your body. If you are having jab side effects, start taking Ivermectin. The sooner the better. More coming out every day.
