Vitamin D Levels Associated with Type 2 Diabetes

The incidence of type 2 diabetes has increased substantially in both high-income and low- and middle-income countries in recent decades. Observational studies have reported that higher plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) concentrations are associated with lower risks of diabetes, but it is unclear if these associations are causal.
