Brief Summary  

A randomised double blind placebo controlled trial to study the

effect of supplementation of 60,000 units of cholecalciferol per month

on glycemic control in 96 diabetic patients at a single centre in

South India. The primary outcome variable is a change in

percentage of HbA1c at the end of 3 months. This study attempts to study the role (if any) that Vitamin D has on glycemic control in diabetics .  If (as past research suggests) Vitamin D plays a role in modifying the control of sugars in the diabetic population it could prove to be a safe, cost effective and widely applicable add- on to the current standard of care in Diabetes management
