Summary
Our objective is to demonstrate that providing supplemental vitamin D to children with new
onset DM will significantly decrease the levels of HbA1c and insulin requirement by the
following methods.
1. Identify how often vitamin D levels are low in patients with new onset Type 1 diabetes
mellitus (DM).
2. Record the hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level (which reflects the average blood sugar level
over the past few months) and document insulin requirements before and after vitamin
supplementation is given.
Hypothesis: Maintaining vitamin D levels >30 ng/ml will decrease HbA1c and insulin
requirements.
