In addition, the World Health Organization (WHO) revealed that there are several types of diabetes: type 2 diabetes mellitus, which is due to the fact that the body does not effectively use the insulin it produces; while type 1 diabetes mellitus is characterized by deficient insulin production and requires daily administration of this hormone.
Thus, the Mayo Clinic, a nonprofit entity dedicated to clinical practice, education and research, explained that some of the symptoms of type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes include the following:
- Sensation of being more thirsty than usual.
- Frequent urination.
- Unintentional weight loss.
- Presence of ketones in the urine, a by-product of the breakdown of muscle and fat that occurs when there is not enough insulin available.
- Feeling tired and weak.
- Feeling irritable or other mood changes.
- Blurry vision.
- Sores that are slow to heal.
- Frequent infections, such as infections of the gums, skin, or vagina.
That said, a study carried out by researchers from the University of Turin (Italy) and cited by ABC revealed that “Vitamin D supplements are associated with lower blood glucose levels.”
“Our results clearly demonstrate that the administration of vitamin D improves insulin resistance caused by exposure to a diet rich in fats and sugars,” said the director of this research presented within the framework of the LII Annual Meeting of the European Society for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), Elisa Benetti, according to the Spanish media.
However, the studies were carried out in mice and regarding the efficacy in humans, the expert pointed out that “to date, clinical trials with humans have already been carried out to evaluate the effects of vitamin D supplementation on the progression of the disease.” type 2 diabetes. However, the results have not been conclusive. Therefore, more studies are required to clarify the role of vitamin D in this regard.”
Thus, the information given above in no way replaces medical advice and therefore the first thing to do is consult a health expert so that he or she can guide the process and indicate what is most appropriate for each person. .
