Core Tip	A potential role for abnormal vitamin D level in changes of glucose homeostasis has been described. It has been demonstrated that deficient vitamin D status is detrimental to the synthesis and secretion of insulin in animal and human studies. In several, but not all, human observational trials, an inverse correlation was seen between vitamin D with insulin insensitivity, pre-diabetic states and dysglycemia. However, evidence from randomized interventional studies assessing the effects of changes in vitamin D status on markers of dysglycemia and diabetes prevention is not available. Therefore, firm and true protective influence of vitamin D on glucose homeostasis remains to be defined.
