To determine the frequency and severity of vitamin D insufficiency in type 2 diabetes patients
Anurag Vyas

Aim: The study's goal is to determine the frequency and severity of vitamin D insufficiency in type 2 diabetes patients. Methods: In the Department of General Medicine, a case-control research was carried out. The research included a total of 100 volunteers, with 50 healthy persons serving as cases (Category A) and 50 type 2 diabetes patients serving as controls (Category B). Routine laboratory tests CBC, FBS, RBS, PP2BS, HbA1C, blood urea, serum creatinine, lipid profile, urine albumin, and Vitamin D3 levels were measured using established procedures at the Institute's central laboratory. Results: the prevalence of low vitamin D levels in the healthy group was just 26%, but it was 86% in the diabetic population. Among diabetic individuals with inadequate vitamin D levels, the majority (66 percent) had insufficiency, whereas just 20% had overt vitamin D deficiency. The prevalence of sufficient, insufficient, and deficient Vitamin D in patients with controlled diabetes according to HbA1C criteria was 18.18 percent, 63.64 percent, and 18.18 percent, respectively, whereas it was 10.71 percent, 67.86 percent, and 21.43 percent in patients with uncontrolled diabetes. In compared to diabetic patients with managed status, a higher proportion of uncontrolled diabetes patients (21.43 percent) had overt vitamin D insufficiency (18.18 percent). Conclusion: We found that diabetes state must be controlled in order to avoid vitamin D insufficiency.
