We read with great interest the article recently published in Journal of Pain Research by Sari et al,1 examining the effect of vitamin D replacement therapy on neuropathic pain and imbalance in patients with diabetic neuropathy (DN). They found that vitamin D replacement reduced neuropathic pain and improved balance scores in patients with DN. They suggested that a vitamin D replacement schedule might be planned in diabetic patients with vitamin D deficiency in order to resolve neuropathic pain and balance problems. However, we would like to add some points which may be taken into consideration.
