3. Vitamin D deficiency and diabetes
Compared to other illnesses linked to vitamin D deficiency, the connection between low levels of the nutrient and diabetes is clear.
Some experts believe the link has to do with the role of vitamin D in insulin resistance and sensitivity. Another theory claims the link is related to the role of vitamin D in inflammation because patients with type 2 diabetes also have higher chronic inflammation.
A recent review showed that when vitamin D is deficient, numerous cellular processes in the body start to break down, and this paves the way for the onset of diseases such as diabetes.
However, similar to other illnesses linked to vitamin D deficiency, doctors say that those at risk for diabetes shouldn’t rush into starting an aggressive supplement regimen. A large, multicenter study found that it’s still unclear whether supplementing with vitamin D slashes the risk of type 2 diabetes.

I really hate when this happens. You say 10 health diseases with low Vitiam D, but never say what they are. If you going to start please finish.
Ask my doctor, no money in telling patients to take preventative measures for future illness.
What are the 10 illnesses?
What a stupid waste of time NOT ONE FREAKING DISEASE WAS TALKED ABOUT. I will never read anything sent yp me by you people Useless!!!!!!!
I want to read a article without having to jump through so many icons just to finish the one I’m interested in.
Same goes for this company selling a bottle of vitamins, slapping their name on the bottle & selling to nerve problem patients instead of just informing patients of the name & formula of these vitamins. Shame, shame.
