Is diabetic neuropathy associated with vitamin D status? A meta-analysis
Yammine K, et al.
Published in British Journal of Nutrition
Key Findings
Vitamin D deficiency has been found to be highly prevalent among diabetic patients with neuropathy. Since 25(OH)D has been implicated in glucose haemostasis and showed benefit in reducing neuropathy symptoms, its supplementation is warranted for this population of patients.
Conclusions
Vitamin D deficiency has been found to be highly prevalent among diabetic patients with neuropathy. Since 25(OH)D has been implicated in glucose haemostasis and showed benefit in reducing neuropathy symptoms, its supplementation is warranted for this population of patients.
