Abstract

Introduction The modern-day lifestyle and industrialization has led to the deficiency of sunshine vitamin, i.e., vitamin D, in all age groups. Vitamin D deficiency has its implications in almost each system and has widespread manifestation. This deficiency has far more severe outcomes when associated with diabetes. Aim To evaluate vitamin D level in type II diabetes patients. Materials and methods One hundred diabetic patients will be screened for serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique and the results will be statistically analyzed. Results In our study, vitamin D was deficient in 42%, insufficient in 40%, and normal in 18% cases. Deficiency was seen more in female diabetics. This study has significant correlation with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level and vitamin D level, i.e., as HbA1c increased, so is the vitamin D deficiency. Conclusion Vitamin D was deficient in more than 80% of diabetic patients. Therefore, all diabetic patients should be investigated for vitamin D level.
