We appreciate the interest of Niinisto et al. (1) in our study on maternal serum levels of 25-hydroxy-vitamin D [25(OH)D] during pregnancy and risk of type 1 diabetes in the offspring (2). We analyzed 25(OH)D in serum samples from pregnant women mainly from the last trimester and found an association between lower maternal serum concentrations of 25(OH)D during pregnancy and increased risk of type 1 diabetes development in childhood. Niinisto et al. point out that intake of polyunsaturated n-3 fatty acids, as in cod liver oil, which is frequently used in Norway, …
