Study of 25 hydroxy Vitamin D levels in type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients
Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Vitamin D has the effect on insulin release. A type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patient with the presence of vitamin D deficiency causes impedance in the management of T2DM. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to find the levels of vitamin D in T2DM patients. Materials and Methods: 80 T2 DM patients and 80 age matched controls were studied for their Vitamin D levels along with their fasting glucose, serum calcium and HbA1c levels. Analysis was performed by using student‘t’ test to compare the values between T2DM patients and controls. Pearsons correlation was performed between the parameters in the T2DM patients. Results: The prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency in T2DM patients and controls was found to be 21.25 % and 11.25 % respectively. Mean SD of the Serum Vitamin D (25.0 ± 2.9 ng/L) and serum calcium (7.8 ± 0.6 mg/dl) concentrations were significantly low (p<0.01) in T2DM patients. Vitamin D showed a significant negative correlation with diabetic duration. Vitamin D levels showed an inverse correlation with fasting serum glucose and HbA1c but were not statistically significant. Conclusion: Vitamin D levels were appeared to be lower in T2DM patients than in the control group and it showed a significant negative correlation with the duration of diabetes.
