Objective: To find the relationship of vitamin D deficiency with type-2 diabetes mellitus in adults.
Study Design: Comparative cross-sectional study.
Place and Duration of Study: Combined Military Hospital, Peshawar Pakistan, from Oct 2020 to Mar 2021.
Methodology: Patients with type-2 Diabetes and non-diabetics were selected outdoors and indoors using consecutive
sampling techniques. Vitamin D serum levels were measured in all participants. Vitamin D serum level <10ng/ml was
considered deficient in Vitamin D. Demographic data, duration of type-2 diabetes mellitus, diet, and co-morbidities, were
recorded. Participants were separated into groups such as Group-1, which includes diabetic patients, and Group-2, which
contains control (normal/non-diabetic) patients.
Results: In the current study, 100 participants were examined. In Diabetes-Group, Vitamin D deficiency was documented in
15(30%) patients, while in the Control (normal/no-diabetics) Group, no patients were found to have Vitamin D deficiency
(p<0.001). No significant association of Vitamin D Deficiency was recorded with age (p=0103) and gender of participants in
both groups (p=0.719).
Conclusion: In adults, type-2 diabetes mellitus is associated with Vitamin D deficiency, and diabetic patients may need to be screened for Vitamin D deficiency.
