Abstract

Background: The aim of this article is to determine the association between serum vitamin D level and newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus in Erbil city.

Methods: This is a case-controle study involving 100 subjects which included 2 groups, 50 type 2 diabetic patients diagnosed recently, 50 healthy individuals as control group. The study is conducted from Aprilto December -2015 in Layla Qasim diabetic center. The data collected from all cases including history and examination all   recorded on specially designed questionnaire. From all cases blood sample sent for serum vitamin D3 level.

Results: From the total of 100 subjects, the mean age ofcases was48.8 years and of controls 48.1 The male: female ratio was 1:1 in both cases and controls. The mean serum vitamin D3 level of cases was (9.88 ±6.12) ng/ml  and it was significantly lower than the control (14.34±6.4)ng/ml, (p-value=0.001) although both groups lied within the deficient range. Within the cases the vitamin D3 were deficient in 47(94%) of cases in compared to 44(88%) of control group , The serum vitamin D3 level was insufficient in 2(4%) cases in comparing to 4(8%) of control and sufficient in 1(2%) case in comparing to 2(4%) of control.

Conclusion: The mean serum level of vitamin D3 in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients was significantly lower than that of control group, vitamin D deficiency could contribute to etiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Keywords: type 2 diabetes mellitus, serum vitamin D3 level.
