Abstract Background: Vitamin D deficiency has been a global pandemic. Emerging evidence suggests that vitamin D may play a role in the aetiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Aim of work: To evaluate the relationship between vitamin D levels and glycemic control in type 2 diabetic patients. Patients and Methods: This study was conducted on a total of 100 patients with T2DM. These patients were divided into three groups according to the level of HbA1c, and their ages were between 35 to 70 years. Results: We found that the prevalence of Vitamin D Deficiency in patients with T2DM was 75% in our study. Also, we found that Vitamin D levels have a negative correlation with glycemic control, but this correlation was not statistically significant (r=0.06, p=0.55) Conclusion: There was no significant relationship between Vitamin D and glycemic control in T2DM patients Recommendations: Further studies are needed and should include larger sample size and different populations to establish the complicated link between vitamin D, T2DM and its micro and macrovascular complications |
