Vitamin D, diabetes and cardiac mortality: Let the sunshine in
Vitamin D levels appeared to be lower in diabetes mellitus type-2 patients than in the control groups as today many
randomized control trials have shown that diabetes is also a leading cause of cardiovascular disease. Persons with diabetes
are at greater risk for early cardiac mortality and for repeated events if they survive their first cardiac event. Recently, low
serum concentrations of vitamin D have been associated with increased risk for cardiac events. Persons at risk for diabetes or
metabolic syndrome have inadequate serum concentrations of vitamin D. This presentation will assess the evidence relative to
the impact of vitamin D in the development of diabetes, metabolic syndrome and diabetes complications. Studies that address
vitamin D and its impact on metabolic outcomes as well as possible mechanisms of action are provided. Finally, the assessment
and suggested treatment for vitamin D deficiency is addressed. Effective detection and treatment of inadequate vitamin D
concentrations in persons with diabetes or those at risk for diabetes may be an easy and cost-effective therapy, which could
improve their long-term health outcomes as well as their quality of life.
