February 26, 2018 updated by: avraham ishay, HaEmek Medical Center, Israel

A Prospective, Double Blind, Randomized, Phase 4, Clinical Trial of The Effects of Vitamin D Supplementation on Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Vitamin D Deficiency

Vitamin D plays a key role in keeping normal mineral balance and maintaining bone health. There is accumulating evidence linking deficient vitamin D status with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of high dose vitamin D supplementation (120000 units per month)for 6 months on glucose homeostasis and glycemic control,in vitamin D deficient patients with non-optimally controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Detailed Description

This is a randomized, double blind, parallel group, clinical trial for 6 months duration.

The study group participants will receive vitamin D supplementation (120,000 IU per month) versus the placebo group for 6 months. glycemic control indexes will be measured in T2DM diagnosed study subjects.

Patient will be randomized 1:1 to one of two treatment groups. Vitamin D group vs placebo group.

Randomization kits will include either vitamin D or vitamin D placebo. Blood screens will be taken prior, after 3 months from randomization and after 6 months from randomization. Anthropometric measurements will be drawn as well, at the same time points.

Determination of sample size In order to find a 0.5 mean difference in HgA1C between the two treatment arms (standard deviation 1.2) a 184 sample size will be required to achieve 80% power, 5% alpha (two sided test).
