According to him, vitamin D affects the functions of the pancreas, liver, immune system and fat tissues, because it is involved in insulin production and metabolic processes.
He emphasizes that "the link between vitamin D and carbohydrate metabolism disorders remains the most studied area."
The doctor points out that the vitamin reduces insulin resistance, citing one scientific study that indicates vitamin D supplementation in individuals with prediabetes was associated with a 19 percent lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
He emphasizes that healthy people do not need to undergo vitamin D tests en masse, as prevention is only necessary for people with prediabetes and those at risk, such as those with obesity.
He says: "Vitamin D deficiency is commonly observed in obese individuals, and this is linked to the accumulation of the vitamin in fatty tissues, lack of physical activity, and lack of exposure to sunlight."
In addition, vitamin D is also linked to thyroid function. Taking vitamin D supplements for an extended period (more than three months) can improve thyroid function, but only in those whose thyroid function has not yet been affected. According to studies, vitamin D supplements can lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels and increase the chances of pregnancy in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
According to him, the symptoms of vitamin D deficiency include persistent fatigue, bone and muscle pain, muscle weakness, sleep disturbances, cramps, frequent fractures, and colds. Those most at risk are people who rarely get sun exposure, those with dark skin, the elderly, obese patients, pregnant and breastfeeding women, and people with intestinal, kidney, or liver diseases.
He says: "Vitamin D is an important regulator of endocrine and metabolic processes, and its deficiency is a risk factor that can be avoided to prevent many diseases."
The doctor advises consulting a specialist if the aforementioned symptoms persist, in order to determine the vitamin level.
