Abstract

Vitamin D mainly regulates calcium and phosphate metabolism, its deficiency may also be involved in the aetiopathogenesis of carcinomas, autoimmune diseases, infections, respiratory and cardiac diseases. A total of 80 cases were studied. Among the 80 patients with diabetes, 34 were female and 46 were male with a mean age of 46.9 ± 8.9 years along with 20 age and sex matched healthy controls. The vitamin D status of patients with diabetes should be considered during their regular follow-up, and supplementation should be provided to those at risk of deficiency.

Key words: 25-OH Vitamin D, Type-2 DM and Microvascular complications.
