View story 1 0 Most Kids With Type 1 Diabetes Lack Vitamin D. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/12... Submitted by matinadi 11 months, 1 day, 20 hours ago Almost 75 percent of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes have insufficient levels of vitamin D, researchers at the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston report. A deficit in vitamin D can lead to bone problems later in life, especially among those with type 1 diabetes. While vitamin D is usually gotten from exposure to sunlight or from the diet, researchers suggest that supplements are needed to boost vitamin D levels.
