History of Changes
  Purpose

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the change in glucose and insulin metabolism(early markers for development of diabetes) after 6 weeks of weekly Vitamin D supplementation. As vitamin D has been reported to be associated with lipid levels, CRP and blood pressure , we will also be measuring the changes in these variables.

Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent
Obesity

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Oral Glucose Insulin Sensitivity (OGIS)

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Lipid profile
  • CRP
  • ApoA1
  • ApoB
  • Blood Pressure

Estimated Enrollment: 100
Study Start Date: July 2006
Estimated Study Completion Date: September 2006
Detailed Description:

Accumulating evidence suggests that serum Vitamin D levels may be inversely related to the prevalence of diabetes, to the concentration of glucose , insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.These results have been replicated in patients at risk for diabetes with documentation of impairment in insulin secretion in Vitamin D deficient subjects. Therefore, vitamin D could be implicated in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes, by affecting either insulin sensitivity or ß cell function, or both. However, there is paucity of literature on the effect of Vitamin D supplementation on insulin resistance or glucose metabolism. As vitamin D has been reported to be associated with lipid levels, CRP and blood pressure , we will also be measuring the changes in these variables.
