This meta- analysis suggests that vitamin D supplementation improves indices of glycemic control ( FBG , HOMA-IR , and HbA1C ) in patients with diabetes mellitus .
Hence , vitamin D supplements may be of potential therapeutic value in diabetic patients , as an adjuvant therapy along with other treatments
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This systematic review and meta- analysis aim ed to assess the effects of vitamin D supplements on indices of glycemic control [ homeostatic model assessment -insulin resistance ( HOMA-IR ) , hemoglobin A1C ( HbA1C ) , fasting blood glucose ( FBG ) , and quantitative insulin-sensitivity check index ( QUICKI ) and lipid profile in diabetic patients .
The Comparison between Effects of 12 weeks Combined Training and Vitamin D Supplement on Improvement of Sensory-motor Neuropathy in type 2 Diabetic Women
Background : Peripheral neuropathy is a common complaint of diabetes . This study aim ed to determine the effects of 12 weeks combined training with Vitamin D supplement on improvement of sensory-motor neuropathy in women with diabetic neuropathy . Material s and Methods : This clinical trial study conducted on 90 patients were selected and r and omly divided into two groups . Finally , 81 adult females with diabetes type II ( 20–55 years old ) were interred in this study . The control group had no training , but received Vitamin D. The experimental group received Vitamin D and 12 weeks training program ( 3 days a week , 60 min/session ) including aerobic exercises , strength , and flexibility . Aerobic exercise intensity was set at 60–70 % maximum heart rate and resistance training intensity was determined by 10 R.M. Michigan neuropathy question naire , reflex hammer and tuning fork 128 Hz used to screening tense of neuropathy ( Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument ) that were used for pretest and posttest . Results : Following 3 months combined training and supplementation with Vitamin D , had observed a significant reduction in numbness ( P = 0.001 ) , pain ( 0.002 ) , tingling ( P = 0.001 ) , and weakness ( P = 0.002 ) in the lower limb and also increases in sense of touch intervention ( P = 0.005 ) , detects the position of the fingers ( P = 0.001 ) and vibration perception ( P = 0.001 ) in tissues . Knee reflexes ( P = 0.77 ) and ankles reflexes ( P = 0.47 ) did not significantly change after interventions . Conclusion : It seems that taking part in combined training and supplementation with Vitamin D can improve the symptoms of sensory-motor neuropathy
