Summary
Brief summary
Vitamin D deficiency is common amongst people with type 2 diabetes. People with type 2 diabetes frequently develop painful neuropathy ("nerve pain" especially in the feet). The study hypothesis is that vitamin D supplementation may improve symptoms of nerve pain. The study is therefore designed to investigate the impact of vitamin D supplementation on nerve pain in people with type 2 diabetes
