The relationship between serum vitamin D levels and glucose metabolism has been studied in-depth and described in various scientific works. 

This systematic review of published literature, further analyzing this relationship, was conducted and included meta-analyses, case control studies, randomized clinical trials, cross-sectional and prospective cohorts. 

The review only included literature from 2013 to 2024, and analysis validates the established outcome of many investigations that low vitamin D levels correlate with the existence of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus, in a reverse association. However, most authors agree that the evidence remains inconsistent and needs to be subjected to further investigations.
