Accordingly, we examined if the association of serum 25(OH)D concentrations with adipokines, central adiposity, glycemic control, insulin sensitivity, lipid profile, and BP, independent of demographic variables, total body adiposity (BMI) and insulin resistance will differ between HA and AA type 2 diabetic and non-diabetic community dwellers in a year-round sunny climate in South Florida. Here, INS is linked to Insulin resistance.
