Vitamin D is the Most Common Deficiency in People With Diabetes

Diabetic disorders are divided into two types: type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the body’s immune system destroys specific cells in the pancreas, the organ that produces the vital hormone insulin.

The primary cause of type 2 diabetes, which mostly occurs in adults, has been shown through Dr. Rath’s research to be a long-term deficiency of specific micronutrients in the cells of the pancreas, the blood vessel walls, the liver, and other organs. Thus far, however, conventional medicine has failed to appreciate this scientific fact.

In order to successfully control either form of diabetes, ensuring optimum levels of certain vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other key micronutrients is essential. Vitamin C plays a particularly important role, having been shown to lower blood pressure and sugar levels in diabetic patients.
