Vitamin D3 better than metformin for insulin sensitivity

http://www.tulsaworld.com/Scene/arti...4_DearPh185644

"a 2004 study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition which found that raising a person's blood levels of vitamin D (from 25 to 75 nmol/l) could improve insulin sensitivity by a whopping 60 percent. "

"Compare that to metformin, one of our pharmaceutical gold-standards, which can dispose of blood sugar by a meager 13 percent "

"I suggest you ask your doctor if he minds you supplementing with about 5,000 IU "cholecalciferol" or vitamin D3 every morning."
