Researchers believe a daily dose of THIS vitamin could help you beat diabetes

For years, doctors have warned that sunshine vitamin – vitamin D – is no good for diabetes sufferers. Now it appears, they’re changing their tune.

This after researchers at the UT Southwestern Medical Centre in Texas revealed that they believe a daily vitamin D pill could be the key to staving off Type II diabetes, reveals dnaindia.com.

Scientists believe vitamin D could help prevent Type II diabetes

While still its four-year trial, researchers will “track 2,500 people age 30 or older who have pre-diabetes – a precursor to diabetes where blood glucose levels are higher than normal,” explains express.co.uk.

They’ll give each participant a daily dose of vitamin D that’s five times higher than recommended daily amount.

The reason they’re trying it?

Because recently research “linked low vitamin D levels to insulin resistance and diabetes. [And they believe] overcoming insulin resistance, in particular, could be a way to head off type 2 diabetes before it sets in,” adds Diabetes Forecast.

If successful, this study could give pre-diabetics a safe, inexpensive treatment to reverse their symptoms before it turns into full-blown diabetes.

While we wait for the outcome of the trial, you can use this assumption to your advantage.
