    Abstract

    The objective of this study was determine the correlation between vitamin D deficiency and diabetes. The experimental and epidemiologic studies suggest that vitamin D deficiency and diabetes are negatively correlated. Objective: The study consist of total 60 patients including both male and females. They were selected from the patients of diabetics. At a tertiary Hospital. The aim of the study is to study the correlation between vitamin-D and diabetes in diabetic patients. Results: The discovery of vitamin D is one of medicine’s great achievements. Despite all the positive evidence emerging about the beneficial effect of vitamin D, we still find many are vitamin D deficient. The purposes of this study were to examine the association between serum vitamin D and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, to test the hypothesis that lower vitamin D levels are associated with poorer glucose control in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients and to investigate the effect of vitamin D supplementation on HbA1c levels. Conclusion: In this study, we established that vitamin D deficiency is found to be associated with diabetes, in a cohort of 60 subjects. The important result we find from this study is a significant reduction in HbA1c as vitamin D levels increased.
