摘要: Background A number of recent studies underline the importance vitamin D in pathogenesis Type 1 diabetes (T1D). Aims The aim this study was to investigate whether supplementation with active form (calcitriol) subjects recent-onset T1D protects residual pancreatic β-cell function and improves glycaemic control (HbA1c insulin requirement). Methods In open-label randomized trial, 70 T1D, mean age 13.6 years ± 7.6 sd were calcitriol (0.25 µg on alternate days) or nicotinamide (25 mg/kg daily) followed up for 1 year. Intensive therapy implemented three daily injections regular insulin + NPH at bedtime. Results No significant differences observed between groups respect baseline/stimulated C-peptide HbA1c 1 year after diagnosis, but dose 3 6 months significantly reduced group. Conclusions At dosage used, has a modest effect only temporarily reduces dose.
