Enough research has been done to demonstrate that altered vitamin D and calcium equilibrium in the blood may play a role in the development of type 2 diabetes.
Type-2 diabetes mellitus comprises of increased blood sugar levels as a result of insulin resistance or impaired insulin secretion diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs following metabolic impairment it is increasing at an alarming pace worldwide and it is estimated that by 2035 almost 600 million people will be affected by this disease various research

The prevention of type 2 diabetes though calcium deficiency is difficult to document it has been a matter of concern as people are not consuming the recommended intake for calcium enough research has been done to demonstrate that altered vitamin d and calcium equilibrium in the blood may play a role in the development of type 2 diabetes most of the observational
Studies have contributed towards the consistent association that exists between low vitamin d status calcium or dairy intake and prevalence of type 2 along with calcium insufficiency there are evidences that vitamin d deficiency may negatively influence blood glucose level concluding that combined supplementation with both nutrients may be beneficial and optimizing glucose metabolism
