Abstract in brief

  • This study investigated whether taking vitamin D could help reduce depressive symptoms in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), finding that daily vitamin D supplementation improved depression scores and metabolic health over 12 weeks.
  • Results showed that vitamin D increased blood levels of 25(OH)D and significantly decreased depression severity, as measured by the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), compared to a placebo.
  • The study suggests that vitamin D might be beneficial for reducing depression and improving metabolic indicators like HbA1c, insulin, and triglycerides in T2DM patients, potentially protecting against major depressive disorder.]
