In a nutshell

Vitamin D has protective associations with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, as well as metabolic syndrome.

RCTs for prevention or treatment are so far thin on the ground and not all had positive outcomes. If vitamin D does prove to have application for diabetes, dosage issues are likely to be critical.
