The study indicates that children who took vitamin D supplements were around 30% less likely to develop type 1 diabetes than those who did not. According to researchers, Type 1 diabetes is most common among people of European descent, with around two million Europeans and North Americans affected.

Dr Victoria King, of the charity Diabetes UK, said: “Much more research, in particular controlled trials which compares the results when one group of people are given vitamin D supplements and one group is not, are needed before we can confirm a concrete association between vitamin D and type 1 diabetes.”
