Included in the study were “11 obese patients, with an average body mass index of 34 kg/m2, insulin resistance, and vitamin D deficiency” and eight controls. The findings were presented at the Eastern regional meeting of the American Federation for Medical Research. http://www.mdedge.com/clinicalendocrinologynews/article/136804/diabetes/small-study-vitamin-d-repletion-may-decrease
