New research findings on vitamin D and its role in human health may be particularly useful for the majority of those North Americans who have the disease called diabetes, is a serious and incurable disease, which is characterized by higher than normal blood sugar levels stay around the body.
Discoveries of scientists recently announced the University of Copenhagen report that Vitamin D plays an important role in activating the body's immune system protection, and if enough vitamin D is available in T-cells, also called killer cells to describe their ability to kill invading infections, T cells can not get rid of severe infections because they is programmed to do.
Diabetes and Vitamin D
It was the hypothesis that diabetes can lead to an increased need for vitamin D and that vitamin deficiency can lead to decreased insulin production, characteristic of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Insulin is a hormone that is essential need to help blood sugar-makin g cells in the body.
If it is really, then it must be concluded that those suffering from diabetes can be helped to get higher doses of vitamin D than they are currently doing. There are several other diseases that are caused or exacerbated by vitamin D deficiency, it is possible that diabetes mellitus should be added to that list?
It is well known that deficiency of Vitamin D can cause a bone disease called rickets in young children. Rickets was first identified as a vitamin D deficiency in the 1920s and scientists soon found a way to synthesize the vitamin and then add it to your everyday foods such as breakfast cereals and milk. These rich foods and many others are still mostly rely on sources of vitamin D for growing children, adults and the elderly. However, it is not known how much vitamin D you really need all in good health. There is no official Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA), as there are many other nutrients. There are only a suggested amou nt is called "Adequate intake, which is used because there is not enough data confirm what is actually the right amount, and thus to establish a fixed and final value.
Recent studies suggest a higher intake of vitamin D is an effective
It would seem from the latest research, including the University of Copenhagen, there are several reasons, pointing to the need to increase the daily need for vitamin D substantially from the current daily intake of a sufficient amount of 200 international units (IU) of all adults aged from newborn to 50 years of age, 400 IU for those 50 to 70 years, and 600 IU for those of 70 years and older.
March 2010 Endocrine News, is a professional job to engage clinicians, scientists, and scholars in the field, featured article about vitamin D expressed some authorities, which adheres to the current intake of sufficient amounts of frustration. According to Professor Bruce W. Hollis Medical University of South Carolina, "Vitami n D deficiency is responsible for an incredible array of diseases." He also argues that there is insufficient levels of vitamin A is associated with several types of cancer, heart and vascular disorders, multiple sclerosis, autoimmunity, and other chronic diseases, including diabetes. Dr. Hollis takes 4,000 IU daily.
Other researchers have shown that 5,000 IU daily dose appropriate for those at high risk for vitamin D deficiency to prevent bone disease in all age groups.
Perhaps it is time to discuss the matter with your doctor
The diabetic population, those who have diabetes and those who have Prediabetes, as well as higher than normal blood sugar levels that often develops fully diabetic condition, I would suggest, in the light of what is described in the research and education think it would be worth discussing the matter fully with your doctor.
I have a higher than normal blood sugar level for me and others like me, a constant battle to control the situation does not damage the quality of life. I will discuss this with my doctor, who I hope is up to date and informed on this matter.
The American Diabetes Association does not support any higher level of intake
The American Diabetes Association is my careful not to advocate any vitamin D intake increases above the current recommended levels.
In a summary of research, the American Diabetes Association states that more studies are needed to determine whether more calcium and vitamin D can prevent diabetes and its complications. Their position statement says: "There is no clear evidence of benefit from vitamin or mineral supplementation in people with diabetes
