Summary
In addition to its effect on maintaining calcium homeostasis and mineralization of bone,
vitamin D has been linked to play a pivotal role in different medical conditions including
type 2 diabetes mellitus. Vitamin D plays a major role in both insulin secretion and
decreasing the insulin resistance hence has a major impact on glucose tolerance. This study
is designed to determine the non-skeletal effects of vitamin D in improving the glucose
tolerance in type 2 diabetic patients by decreasing the insulin resistance
