Efficacy of Vitamin D Therapy on Glucose Homeostasis in Obese Adolescents

Summary

The purpose of this study is to see whether giving a Vitamin D supplement to vitamin D deficient obese children and adolescents will decrease the risk of getting diabetes (Disease in which the person has high blood sugar).
