Vitamin D may help protect children from type 1 diabetes

News Archive

Children given vitamin D supplements had a 30% lower risk of developing type 1 diabetes than children not given them, according to a report in Archives of Disease in Childhood.

Blood levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D have been found to be lower in people with type 1 diabetes than in healthy people, and studies suggest that giving vitamin D to babies may help prevent type 1 diabetes. Ask your doctor or health visitor about the recommended vitamin D dose for your baby.
