Brief Summary
African-Americans have higher rates of cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality, as well as vitamin D deficiency. Multiple observational studies have demonstrated an increased risk of vitamin D deficiency in African Americans with type 2 diabetes and correlation between cardiovascular disease and vitamin D levels; however, there is a lack of interventional trials exploring this connection. The objective of this proposal is to address the hypothesis that treatment of vitamin D deficiency in African Americans with type 2 diabetes will improve subclinical markers of cardiovascular disease.
