Objective: To find out serum vitamin D levels in type 2 DM patients in Hyderabad.Design: Cross sectional study. Setting: Private clinics, OPDs of government hospitals likeQasimabad, Latifabad and Pretabad. Duration: January to July 2013. Patients and Methods:Total 550 patients were selected, 450 patients (250 males and 200 females) taken from differentOPDs of Hyderabad and towns or Tehsils with diagnosis of type 2 Diabetes mellitus andanother 100 patients were taken as control (60 males and 40 females). The mean age was45.6 years. The written consent was obtained and demographic features were noted, 3cc ofblood was taken for estimation of vitamin D levels. The level of vitamin D was done on anElectrochemiluminescence Immuno Assay (ECLIA) at Diagnostic & Research laboratory LiaquatUniversity of Medical &Health sciences (LUMHS) Jamshoro, Sind. Results and Observations:Out of 550, 450 diabetic subjects tested for vitamin D, females were 44.4%and 55.5% weremales. The deficiency was seen in 33.7% patients (p <0.04) and Vitamin D insufficiency wasobserved in20% in both sex. In control group, the deficiency was observed in 23% in femalesand 20% in males while insufficiency noted in 5% in both sex. Conclusions: The study showedsignificant decreased levels of vitamin D in type 2 Diabetic subjects than normal individuals. Thevitamin D deficiency increased considerably in females with diabetes type 2.

Background: The current worldwide epidemic of diabetes mellitus is a serious health problem because of the high toll of vascular complications. Vitamin D deficiency as emerging epidemic have effect on pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus by various mechanisms, so we have taken up this study with aim to see effect of both high prevalent diseases on each other and to observe prevalence and pattern of vitamin D deficiency in diabetics.Methods: In this case-control study 70 type 2 diabetic patients were taken as cases and 70 healthy individuals as controls. All participants included in this study were subjected to complete history taking and clinical examination and routine laboratory Investigations were done for all participants. The data was analyse using appropriate statistical tests.Results: The prevalence of low vitamin D level (inclusive of insufficiency and deficiency) was 18.57% in healthy controls, while 84.29% in diabetic group. Mean level of vitamin D in cases was 25.73±7.27 while 34.55±5.17 in healthy population (p value <0.05). Vitamin D deficiency is more seen in uncontrolled diabetes patients. Inverse correlation was recorded between HbA1C and serum vitamin D level (r = - 0.281, p value = <0.001).Conclusions: Vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent in diabetic patients as compare to normal healthy population. All patients of type 2 Diabetes patients must have screened for serum vitamin D level and if found deficient than it should be treated promptly with vitamin D supplements for better control of hyperglycaemia.
