Summary
This project is designed to study the role of vitamin D supplementation on the honeymoon
phase of type 1 diabetes in children who are on standardized insulin treatment. The results
could lead to significant changes in the approach to the early phase of type 1 diabetes with
a strong emphasis on prolonging the honeymoon phase by using vitamin D and maintaining these
patients on a standardized insulin regimen. The overall goal is to reduce the long-term
complications of type 1 diabetes.
