Diabetes researchers have known for a while that most type I diabetics have low levels of Vitamin D in their system. Recently a new study at St Mary’s Hospital for Women and Children, in Manchester England showed that there is a direct correlation between the two. In fact, by making sure that your child is getting plenty of Vitamin D, you can reduce his risk of developing Type I Diabetes by as much as 30%.
Type I diabetes develops when the body’s immune system starts to destroy pancreatic cells which are responsible for creating insulin. Type I diabetics can not produce enough insulin to properly metabolize food and have to supplement it via insulin injections.
Vitamin D apparently stops this destruction of pancreatic cells by the immune system. Vitamin D is found in foods like whole milk. The body can also create it when exposed to sunlight. Start by making sure your child gets to play out in the sun whenever possible and eats (or drinks) foods that naturally contain Vitamin D.
If Type I Diabetes runs in your family, it may also be a good idea to discuss vitamin D supplement options with your child’s pediatrician.
