Vitamin D and diabetes

[@nancygrogan6082]

This is quite astonishing. For context, I’m an man in my early sixties. Three years ago I was pre diabetic, with a Blood Glucose test score of 6.4. I’ve been taking Vitamin D3, 2,500 iu per day, since February 2020, primarily to protect me from the worse effects of Covid. Recently I had my Vitamin D3 levels measured, I has a test result of 85. At this time, among other tests, I also had a HbA1c test done. My score had dropped down to 5.4. My GP was so impressed he rang me to congratulate me and ask me what I’d been doing to bring about this change. I told him I’d been swimming four days a week and taking Vitamin D3 daily. He seemed oblivious to the Vitamin D benefit, and said rather sceptically, “it must be the swimming that did it” I look forward to emailing him a link to your podcast this evening.

My physician (who is progressive) explained to me that (at least in the U.S.), a doctor's medical training may have focused on 'fixing' problems presented by the patient, not so much on preventing chronic illness. It may not be the doctor is purposely overlooking better solutions for their patients, but that it may be a deficiency in their medical training, not staying up to date, dealing with the pressures of running their clinic, not having enough time to spend with each patient, limitations on what tests they can order due to insurance limitations, and influence of the pharmaceutical companies. Some physicians practice 'functional' medicine, which may include using food (nutrients) as medicine, as mentioned recently by John, the nutraceutical approach.

You are exactly right about big pharma! It began in the medical schools with big pharma supplying the medical text books in medical schools, back in the early 1900's. We were using holistic and chiropractors until John Rockefeller came up with this brilliant idea to use pharmaceuticals & give free medical text books to the medical schools. With only one stipulation that doctor's be taught that only big pharma's PETROCHEMICAL based products could be used which caused the end of holistic medicine being used by most doctor's at the time. It was never about providing better health just using petroleum based pills and might help some people in the process but definitely no cures! The US is 4.25% of the world's population but we take 75% of all the pharmaceutical drugs. We are less healthy than most Asian countries although we have infiltrated their markets with a lot of unhealthy foods and drinks and of course push our legal drugs there too. We know herbs and organic natural foods will cure most aliments yet we have legalized drugs and our doctor's don't promote the use of herbs or true healthy foods. Our conventional medical doctors are complicit in just recommending drugs from the legal drug cartels although if they want to be a conventional doctor they have to prescribe only parmaceuticals because it's the "science!" Do you find it odd anything that is healthy always needs more scientific random controlled studies etc. etc. Why doesn't the government fund healthy foods or herbs that look promising? In a word, LOBBYIST!! We can't compete against big pharma... Funny how we started the war on cancer under the Nixon administration and cancer has skyrocketed since that time! The American cancer society, diabetes association etc are more about keeping their nonprofits in business than they are about a cure for diseases. It's all about "managed care," they would loose their funding with a cure. It's 100% about the Benjamin's. Of course it's a shame there are some very good people who mean well doctor's included but they are in a rigged system! The pandemic was a windfall for big pharma and that fact they can't be sued because the vaccines are still listed as an experimental is unbelievable!! Functional medical doctors in my opinion are the way to go, they try and find the root cause of a problem, instead of treating the symptoms like conventional docs do. I hope I shed some light to a few people with my ramblings! Thanks to "swainsongable"for initiating this conversation!

3,000 may be a little on the low side. 5,000 would be better - along with the K2. I take 10,000, but mostly because I tend to forget and skip a day (or two).... Vitamin D is actually a hormone, that's why it is so important. Important too is that this vitamin (and few others) should be taken with food or something with a little healthy fat. A fat source (a carrier) is recommended for the body to absorb it - it needs a healthy gut. I live in Florida, and too many people here are still low or deficient. It may be the absorption issue.

The information that you offered on vitamin D originally brought me to your channel in March 2020. For my family this clearer understanding of the role that quality sunlight (and the need to supplement when this sunlight is not available) plays in our health is the number one benefit that has come out of watching your channel during that period, and from the C-19 pandemic generally. When you cross reference the top pathologies associated with vitamin D deficiency (diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and cancer), the top pathologies suffered in deficient populations, and the prevalence of these deficiencies/pathologies in these populations (40-85% < 20 ng/mL) the picture becomes very clear. Eradicating Vitamin D deficiency is the low hanging fruit in a healthcare crisis!

Vitamin D supplementation is not the lowest hanging fruit. Cutting out carbs is the lowest hanging fruit. No carbs, no diabetes. Vitamin D supplementation can reduce 15% of cases of diabetes. Carb reduction can reduce 99% of diabetes. Dr. Campbell id dead wrong about eating fruits and vegetables in order to help with diabetes. Diabetes revolves around glucose; you could call it chronic elevated glucose disease. Eating carbs elevates glucose (eating protein does too but to a much lesser degree). Glucose increase triggers insulin release. Eventually, if glucose levels remain high long enough, the body developes a resistance to the balancing effects of insulin and all sorts of health problems begin. But the root is eating carbs. It's not a nutrient deficiency that fruit and plants can solve.

My vitamin D level used to be 10 nmol/L until I started supplementation. I am the same age group as you John and weigh in at 60kg. After 2 years of taking Vit D, 100ug, I tested at 89 nmol/L so I think your estimate of dose is in the ballpark of optimum. I too take K2 at a dose of 150ug / day. Thank you for the effort you put into your channel, just superb!

[@cjay2]

The political will is there to first raise the price of vitamin D, and then eventually take it off the market altogether. Just saying.

[@DutchmanAmsterdam]

As minimal 125 nmol/L is recommended you are still quite on the low side. 75 ng/ml is recommended as well as at least 350 mcg K2 per day. The NHS says 1000 mcg K2 per day is absolutely safe, there is no upper limit known. Also magnesium is advised up to 600 mg daily (not the oxide version). I take 200 mg magnesium citrate plus 5000 IU D3 and a big spoonful of fresh natto, should contain about 400 mcg K2-mk7. If you increase D3 magnesium gets used by it so that's important to supplement for the nervous system as well as the bones and teeth. Probably best to take no or only little calcium. To much calcium is not good.

Thank you so much bringing this to light.. 🙏🏼💜 something so simple and safe. I’m a RN case manager in the states and I see this first hand daily when I talk to our patients, when I review labs with them (after their physician has done that of course). I do find that we are testing the A1C a lot more in the recent years, and in younger patients now, I’ve seen it checked in patients in their 30s -which is excellent. One thing I encourage everyone to ask from their doctors.. I encourage them to request an insulin level-this shows how resistant or sensitive our cells are to sugar/glucose.. If fasting insulin is high, it means your cells are less sensitive to the effects of that insulin and your body makes more. This is the precursor to “pre-diabetes” , so in essence it’s the pre-prediabetes marker.. “Normal” fasting insulin is under 19, some labs will have under 20. Optimal level is under 8.. ** would love to hear a chat about insulin level and insulin sensitivity/resistance Dr Campbell..🤗🤓

My husband was told for years he was doing well at his yearly "wellness" exam or cardiology appointment, due to being prescribed several medications. His PCP picked up that he was pre-diabetic and prescribed metformin. Not once was diet mentioned. We researched the meds he was on and found that one med caused weight gain, another caused diabetes, etc. We took our health under our control, went on a ketogenic diet in Nov. 2019. He lost 50 pounds and was able to get off all meds. Blood pressure was normal without meds, no more pre-diabetes per testing. However, this angered the PCP, who wanted him on the meds and said to "stay on the program." And also advised against the keto diet. "Health" care is a racket in the USA. I am convinced that they do not want us to be well; they want us just sick enough to stay on meds and undergo continuous testing, which enriches the doctors and insurance companies. It's beyond disgusting. Also, never once was vitamin D3 mentioned.
