Funded Activity Summary

I am conducting a trial of vitamin D in adults with diabetes to determine if it improves the ability of the pancreas to make insulin, improves the efficiency of insulin action and suppresses the immune cells that attack the pancreas. If these effects are seen, it implies that vitamin D may be an important adjunct treatment in the management of diabetes. It may also delay the need for insulin injections in people with type 1 diabetes and it may even have a role in preventing type 1 diabetes.
