Summary
The purpose of this study is to see whether giving a Vitamin D supplement to vitamin D
deficient obese children and adolescents will decrease the risk of getting diabetes (Disease
in which the person has high blood sugar).
The number of vitamin D deficiency in U.S. children and teenagers has grown dramatically over
the past 30 years. There are some reports suggesting that vitamin D supplementation in adults
with pre diabetes (blood glucose higher than normal) and vitamin D treatment will prevent
diabetes.
