The global prevalence of type 2 diabetes is increasing. Effective strategies to address this public health challenge are currently lacking. A number of epidemiological studies have reported associations between low concentrations of 25-hydroxy vitamin D and the incidence of diabetes, but a causal link has not been established. We investigate the effect of vitamin D supplementation on the metabolic status of individuals at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
METHODS/DESIGN: In a randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trial individuals identified as having a high risk of type 2 diabetes (non-diabetic hyperglycaemia or positive diabetes risk score) are randomised into one of three groups and given 4 doses of either placebo, or 100,000 IU Vitamin D₂ (ergocalciferol) or 100,000 IU Vitamin D₃ (cholecalciferol) at monthly intervals. The primary outcome measure is the change in glycated haemoglobin level between baseline and 4 months. Secondary outcome measures include blood pressure, lipid levels, apolipoproteins, highly sensitive C-reactive protein, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and safety of supplementation. and C-reactive protein. The trial is being conducted at two sites (London and Cambridge, U.K.) and a total of 342 participants are being recruited.
Trial data examining whether supplementation of vitamin D improves glycaemic status and other metabolic parameters in people at risk of developing type 2 diabetes are sparse. This trial will evaluate the causal role of vitamin D in hyperglycaemia and risk of type 2 diabetes. Specific features of this trial include recruitment of participants from different ethnic groups, investigation of the relative effectiveness and safety of vitamin D₂ and D₃ and an evidence based approach to determination of the dose of supplementation.

2型糖尿病在全球的患病率正在上升。目前缺乏应对这一公共卫生挑战的有效策略。多项流行病学研究报告了低浓度25-羟基维生素D与糖尿病发病率之间的关联,但尚未确立因果关系。我们研究补充维生素D对2型糖尿病发病风险增加个体代谢状况的影响。
方法/设计:在一项随机双盲安慰剂对照试验中,被确定为2型糖尿病高危人群(非糖尿病性高血糖或糖尿病风险评分阳性)被随机分为三组之一,每月间隔给予4剂安慰剂、100,000 IU维生素D₂(麦角钙化醇)或100,000 IU维生素D₃(胆钙化醇)。主要结局指标是基线至4个月期间糖化血红蛋白水平的变化。次要结局指标包括血压、血脂水平、载脂蛋白、高敏C反应蛋白、甲状旁腺激素(PTH)以及补充剂的安全性和C反应蛋白。该试验在两个地点(英国伦敦和剑桥)进行,共招募342名参与者。
关于补充维生素D是否能改善2型糖尿病发病风险人群的血糖状况和其他代谢参数的试验数据很少。该试验将评估维生素D在高血糖和2型糖尿病风险中的因果作用。该试验的具体特点包括从不同种族群体招募参与者、研究维生素D₂和D₃的相对有效性和安全性以及采用基于证据的方法确定补充剂剂量。
