Vitamin D may play a crucial role in the prevention and management of type 1 diabetes by modulating immune responses and supporting pancreatic beta-cell function. Early-life high-dose vitamin D supplementation has shown potential in reducing the risk of developing the condition. Furthermore, its influence on gene transcription and immune regulation presents promising pathways for defining novel therapeutic strategies.
