The role of vitamin D and calcium in type 2 diabetes. A systematic review and meta-analysis. (2007, background): “The components of the metabolic syndrome that were independently associated with low 25-OHD were abdominal obesity and hyperglycemia; therefore, the results of this study may simply reflect the inverse association between serum 25-OHD and body weight or fatness (40, 64, 65).”
Baseline Serum 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D Is Predictive of Future Glycemic Status and Insulin Resistance (2008, background): “Our findings, valid within a population of European Caucasians, cannot be extrapolated to other ethnic groups, given the previously reported heterogeneity by ethnicity (10).”
