Vitamin D may lower diabetes risk in obese kids

ISLAMABAD: Vitamin D supplements can help obese children and teens control their blood-sugar levels, which helps stave off diabetes.Being obese puts individuals at greater risk for developing Type 2 diabetes, a disease in which individuals have too much sugar in their blood, The Indian Express reported.In the study "By increasing vitamin D intake alone, researchers got a response that was nearly as powerful as what we have seen using a prescription drug," said Catherine Peterson, an associate professor of nutrition and exercise physiology at Missouri University."We saw a decrease in insulin levels, which means better glucose control, despite no changes in body weight, dietary intake or physical activity," Peterson said.All of those in the study had insufficient or deficient vitamin D levels and had similar diets and activity levels.Adding vitamin D supplements to their diets may be an effective addition to treating obesity and its associated insulin resistance," Peterson added.Copyright APP (Associated Press of Pakistan), 2013
