Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels decreased in impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes mellitus
TLDR
It is concluded that diabetes and IGT are associated with low serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and that low concentrations of this hormone in New Zealand Polynesians may partly explain their increased prevalence of diabetes/IGT compared with Europeans.About:

The Role of Vitamin D and Calcium in Type 2 Diabetes. A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
TL;DR: Evidence from trials with vitamin D and/or calcium supplementation suggests that combined Vitamin D and calcium supplementation may have a role in the prevention of type 2 DM only in populations at high risk (i.e. glucose intolerance).
Journal ArticleDOI
Hypovitaminosis D is associated with insulin resistance and β cell dysfunction
TL;DR: A positive correlation of 25(OH)D concentration with insulin sensitivity and a negative effect of hypovitaminosis D on beta cell function are shown, which are at higher risk of insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome.
Hypovitaminosis D is associated with insulin resistance and cell
TL;DR: In this paper, the relation of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations to insulin sensitivity and cell function was investigated, and the results showed that 25-OHD concentration was positively correlated with ISI (P 0.0001) and negatively correlated with 1st and second-phase insulin responses (1stIR and 2ndIR).
Journal ArticleDOI
Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D, Diabetes, and Ethnicity in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
TL;DR: An inverse association between vitamin D status and diabetes, possibly involving insulin resistance, in non-Hispanic whites and Mexican Americans is shown and may reflect decreased sensitivity to vitamin D and/or related hormones such as the parathyroid hormone.

Marie Claire Chapuy,Monique E. Arlot,François Duboeuf,Jacqueline Brun,Bridgette Crouzet,Simone Arnaud,Pierre D. Delmas,Pierre J. Meunier +7 more
TL;DR: The effects of supplementation with vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and calcium on the frequency of hip fractures and other nonvertebral fractures, identified radiologically, in 3270 healthy ambulatory women are studied.

Relation of central obesity and insulin resistance with high diabetes prevalence and cardiovascular risk in South Asians.
TL;DR: The results confirm the existence of an insulin resistance syndrome, prevalent in South Asian populations and associated with a pronounced tendency to central obesity in this group, and control of obesity and greater physical activity offer the best chances for prevention of diabetes and CHD.

Increased skin pigment reduces the capacity of skin to synthesise vitamin D3.
TL;DR: Results indicate that increased skin pigment can greatly reduce the UVR-mediated synthesis of vitamin D.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamin D deficiency inhibits pancreatic secretion of insulin
TL;DR: An important role for vitamin D in the endocrine functioning of the pancreas is indicated by the previously demonstrated presence of a vitamin D-dependent calcium-binding protein and cytosol receptor for the hormonal form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3.

Treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis with calcitriol or calcium
TL;DR: Women who received calcitriol had a significant reduction in the rate of new vertebral fractures during the second and third years of treatment, as compared with the women who received calcium.
