I got bad news from my rheumatologist

My rheumatologist ordered some labs and my vitamin D level tested low.

My doctor had asked me to stop all supplements for a month before the test to see what I was like without them.

Plus I haven’t been able to get vitamin D outside much…

So I was super disappointed to find out how low I am in vitamin D.

Reduce risk of Diabetes

This content states that Vitamin D supplements can reduce the risk of both autoimmune diseases and diabetes. A meta-analysis of three studies reveals that taking Vitamin D supplements can reduce the progression to Type II diabetes by up to 30% and overall by up to 15%.

If a person is taking prednisone in doses of 2.5 milligrams per day or more, it is recommended to take an extra capsule of high-quality Vitamin D to boost the levels of calcium in the body.

Conclusion

Vitamin D has been found to reduce a person’s risk of diabetes and autoimmune diseases.

A recent meta-analysis of three separate studies determined that taking Vitamin D supplements can reduce progression to diabetes by up to 30% and overall reduce the risk of diabetes by up to 15%.

It is recommended that those taking prednisone in doses of 2.5 milligrams each day or higher take a capsule of high quality Vitamin D in addition to calcium for added health benefits.
