Effect of 6-months' vitamin D supplementation on residual beta cell function in children with type 1 diabetes: a case control interventional study.

Further larger studies are urgently needed to explore the beneficial effects of the relatively inexpensive vitamin D supplementation on RBCF. PMID: 26244673 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
