If you have Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes, you need to fully understand the implications of Vitamin D and immediately start supplementing and/or get tested. The non-profit Vitamin D Council has an excellent guide that can help you understand Vitamin D Deficiency- Am I Vitamin D Deficient?

Vitamin D has also been linked to cardiovascular health, which is also extremely important for Diabetics. Vitamin D is certainly the most important supplement for all types of Diabetics.
