This chapter will review the role of vitamin D in the pathogenesis and treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus.

We will discuss the mechanisms through which vitamin D might affect pancreatic function. We will summarize the results of in-vitro and animal studies and will conclude with a review of the relevant clinical trials.
