Trial Outcomes & Findings for Vitamin D for Established Type 2 Diabetes (DDM2) (NCT NCT01736865)

NCT ID: NCT01736865

Last Updated: 2020-04-01

Results Overview

Disposition index by the insulin secretion sensitivity index-2 (ISSI-2). This is an calculated value which represents the ability of a person's pancreatic beta cells to lower blood glucose. A higher number means the pancreas is better able to secrete insulin and improve glucose levels.

Timeframe: 6 months

Disposition index by the insulin secretion sensitivity index-2 (ISSI-2). This is an calculated value which represents the ability of a person's pancreatic beta cells to lower blood glucose. A higher number means the pancreas is better able to secrete insulin and improve glucose levels.
