A Study on Vitamin D Levels in Patients with Type II Diabetes compared to Normal Subjects
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent in the world and in Asian countries including Iran. There is a great deal of evidence suggesting the relationship between serum Vitamin D level and prevalence of type II diabetes. The objective of this study was to assess the serum level of Vit D in diabetics and non-diabetics and to compare the results of the two groups. This descriptive epidemiological study was carried out on 79 participants including 40 diabetic patients and 39 healthy individuals. The participants were randomly selected from the participants of the Ahwaz Metabolic Syndrome project. The serum vitamin D level, FBS, PTH, and insulin level were measured in the participants. The insulin resistance (HOMA-IR index) was also calculated for all participants. In general, 97.1% of healthy participants and 88.1% of diabetics were diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency or inadequacy. No difference was observed between the levels of vitamin D in the two groups (P=0.23). There was a statistically significant difference in the average levels of HOMA-IR, insulin level, and FBS of the two groups (P<0.0001). in conclusion Research results revealed the equally high prevalence of the disorder in the two study groups.
