Calcium and Vitamin D Improve Gestational Diabetes Symptoms

Researchers in Iran have found that supplementing with calcium and vitamin D improves symptoms of gestational diabetes, a metabolic disorder during pregnancy that can lead to a variety of complications.

Insulin sensitivity and HDL (“good”) cholesterol also improved. The study is the first to look at how calcium and vitamin D affect gestational diabetes in these ways.
