There’s a new study out that is shows some promising correlations between kids getting enough vitamin D and preventing type 1 diabetes later in their lives. It wasn’t a clinical trial, but it will probably help inspire one.

On another note, one of our patients mentioned that his nephew asked her doctor to check her vitamin D, which he did. When the result came back at an 8 (normal range starts at 32), she was told not to worry about it! Huh? Is that strange or what? Why run the test if you’re not going to do anything about it being abnormally low?
