In many observational studies, vitamin D deficiency is related to glucose intolerance and diabetes. But there little randomized, controlled interventional studies that evaluate the effect of vitamin D in type 2 diabetes.

Investigators investigate the effect of high dose (2000IU) 25-hydroxy vitamin D on type 2 diabetes in glycemic controls, non-alcholic fatty liver disease, and arterial stiffness, and bone turnover markers.
After informed consent, investigators randomized 180 type 2 diabetes into interventiona group (25-hydroxy vitamin d 2000 IU+ elemental calcium 200mg per day) or placebo group (elemental calcium 200mg per day). The participants should control diabetes by oral medications or lifestyle intervention at the intervention period. Investigators exclude the participants who took vitamin D or calcium or anti-osteoporotic drugs. Investigators also exclude renal insufficiency (Cr>1.5 in men or Cr>1.4 in women) or heavy alcoholics.

Investigators followed the participants for 24 weeks. After randomization, investigators checked HbA1c,glucose, calcium, 25-hydroxyvitamin d, AST, ALT,Creatinine, Parathyroid hormone, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, serum CTX, brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity, central blood pressure, and aortic augmentation index, and precontrast liver computed tomography. Also investigators checked body weight, height, and peripheral blood pressure.

At 12 weeks, investigators checked HbA1c, 25-hydroxy vitamin D, AST, ALT, calcium, and creatinine.

At the end of the study(at 24 weeks), investigators checked HbA1c, glucose, AST, ALT, Creatinine, calcium, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, serum CTX, brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity, central blood pressure, aortic augmentation index, and precontrast liver computed tomography.

After the study completed, investiators compared the data of interventional groups and placebo groups.
