Abstrakt: Insulin regulation and diabetes mellitus are complex topics that involve a variety of biological processes and environmental factors. One important factor that has been implicated in both insulin regulation and the development of diabetes mellitus is vitamin D. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is produced by the body in response to sunlight exposure, and it is also found in certain foods. Studies have shown that vitamin D deficiency is associated with an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus, which is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood sugar levels. Vitamin D is thought to play a role in insulin sensitivity and secretion, and it may also help to reduce inflammation in the body, which is a risk factor for diabetes mellitus. In this context, understanding the role of vitamin D in insulin regulation and diabetes mellitus is important for the development of strategies to prevent and treat this condition. In this regard, research has shown that vitamin D supplementation may improve insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Overall, a better understanding of the relationship between vitamin D and diabetes mellitus may lead to new therapeutic approaches to manage this condition. There is some evidence to suggest that there may be a correlation between vitamin D levels and blood glucose levels in individuals with and without diabetes mellitus. This review article highlights role of vitamin D in Insulin regulation and diabetes mellitus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
