Summary
Brief summary
The aim of this study is to determine whether vitamin D supplementation in overweight/obese individuals with vitamin D deficiency can improve insulin secretion and/or insulin resistance by decreasing subclinical inflammation.

Results of the present study may help to identify new strategies to prevent type 2 diabetes in high-risk groups (i.e. overweight and obese individuals, and individuals with a strong family history of diabetes).

Hypothesis: That increasing plasma 25(OH)D concentrations in healthy individuals at risk for type 2 diabetes with low vitamin D levels through vitamin D supplementation, will improve insulin sensitivity and also insulin secretion by reducing the underlying sub-clinical chronic inflammation.

Aims: To establish whether 16-week vitamin D supplementation given to healthy individuals with low vitamin D levels will:

1. improve insulin sensitivity (in vivo and tissue) and/or insulin secretory function
2. determine whether this relationship is mediated by a reduced chronic inflammation
