Vitamin D and Diabetes

Researchers from Tufts Medical Center and Carney Hospital in Massachusetts report that people with the highest blood levels of vitamin D (greater than 25 ng/ml) have a 43% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes that people with the lowest blood levels (less than 14 ng/ml).  Get your vitamin D levels checked by your Doctor!
