Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to study the role of low vitamin D levels on the health of blood vessels or vascular function in adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Vitamin D deficiency is known to be common in patients with type 1 diabetes. Studies in adults have shown that vitamin D deficiency is associated with cardiovascular events such as stroke, myocardial infarction and peripheral arterial disease. However, the impact of this deficiency on vascular health in adolescents with diabetes has not been examined. Furthermore given that endothelial dysfunction is reversible, early detection of this process may have therapeutic and prognostic implications in this population.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Vitamin D Sufficient

Sufficient is defined as a 25 OH vitamin D level \>50 nmol/l measured at baseline. No clinical intervention will be assigned to this group.

Subjects will have fasting bloodwork done. Other study measurements to be taken include: height and weight, stage of puberty, blood pressure, vitamin D and calcium intake information, diabetes risk information, demographic information and spot urine sample.

We will also do a non-invasive test called a "PAT" or 'peripheral arterial tonometry' to look at the health of your blood vessels.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Vitamin D Deficient

Deficient is defined as a 25 OH vitamin D level ≤ 37.5 nmol/l. This group will receive Vitamin D.

Subjects will have fasting bloodwork done. Other study measurements to be taken include: height and weight, stage of puberty, blood pressure, vitamin D and calcium intake information, diabetes risk information, demographic information and spot urine sample.

We will also do a non-invasive test called a "PAT" or 'peripheral arterial tonometry' to look at the health of your blood vessels.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Vitamin D

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Dosing If the 25 OH Vitamin D level at Baseline/Screening is less than 20 nmol/L then the subject will receive 2000 IU daily.

If the 25 OH Vitamin D level at Baseline/Screening is between 20 and 37.5 nmol/L then the subject will receive 1000 IU daily.
