This Common Vitamin May Help Stop Prediabetes From Turning Into Diabetes

A new analysis of more than 2,000 adults in the D2d trial links high-dose vitamin D to a lower diabetes risk in some people with prediabetes.

Participants with certain vitamin D receptor gene variants had a 19% lower risk of developing diabetes, while others did not benefit.

The results suggest vitamin D could be used more precisely for diabetes prevention based on genetic risk.

The study, published in JAMA Network Open, highlights a possible personalized medicine approach for millions with prediabetes.
