NCT03782805

Brief Summary

Previous studies have shown that improving vitamin D status among the elderly may lead to an improvement in some inflammatory markers, especially with patients with type 2 diabetes. The aim of our trial is study the effect of vitamin D supplementation on inflammatory markers in patients having type 2 diabetes.
