Can vitamin D affect blood sugar?

Published by Sweet Life on

I am a Type 2 diabetic and battling to get my blood sugar under control.

I’m now taking insulin as well. I have also been taking vitamin supplements and vitamin D supplements 500iu per day. Included in the normal vitamin supplement is 200iu.

From last Monday I am hitting hypos everyday. Blood glucose also low in the morning.

Can the vitamin D supplement have an effect on blood glucose?
