: The relationship between autoimmune diabetes or type 1 diabetes mellitus and vitamin D has been reported in the literature. Many factors, environmental and genetic, have been known, as risk factors, to cause both type 1 diabetes and vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D treatment has improved or prevented type 1 diabetes mellitus in animals and humans. Vitamin D also has been known to protect from autoimmune diseases in animal models. Therefore, it would be interesting to review the role of vitamin D in type 1 diabetes mellitus. Copyright (C) 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
