Researchers know that low vitamin D levels doubles the risk of heart disease among diabetics, but they have not known why. Research from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have discovered that diabetics cannot process cholesterol when vitamin D levels are low, causing plaque to build up in the arteries. The result is greater risk of heart attack and stroke, especially for diabetics.
