The Profile of Vitamin D among Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients

Abstract: Objective: To evaluate vitamin D deficiency in type 2 diabetic patients and its association with poor control of diabetes. Design: A Cross-Sectional Study. Setting: Diabetes Outpatient Clinic, A'Ali Health Center, Bahrain. Method: Two hundred sixty-eight patients were included in this study. Serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D concentrations were measured from May 2012 to September 2012. Other parameters of diabetes control were measured. Result: One hundred seventy-six (65%) patients had vitamin D deficiency (<50 ng/m… Show more

“…This finding supports previous research in that patients who are diabetic with poor glycemic control are prone to 25(OH)D deficiency. [7][8][9][10] This study also identified that this finding is more likely with a diabetes-related open wound present on the foot. Further, these findings support the correlation between older age coupled with both 25(OH)D deficiency and poor glycemic control.…”

“…In this study, the inability of a wound to heal could not conclusively be attributed to a 25(OH)D deficiency, poor glycemic control, or even the presence of local infection markers individually, although it does support the studied 25(OH)D deficiency trend already identified in the Bahraini population [4][5][6] and also supports that 25(OH)D deficiency is associated with diabetes mellitus. [8][9][10][22][23][24][25][26] However, the simultaneous identification of local wound bed status indicators was important. Surface temperature differentials and a positive STONEES set of three or more clinical signs positively correlated to poor wound outcomes in the presence of either 25(OH)D deficiency or poor glycemic control.…”

“…The reviewed results revealed that the pooled prevalence of VDD among patients with T2DM was found to be 64.2% (95% CI 60.6% to 67.8%). This finding is comparable with results from the studies conducted in Bahrain (66.7%), 21 Brazil (62.0%), 22 Denmark (62.9%), 18 Lebanon (60.3%) 23 and Saudi Arabia (60.8–63.0). 24 25 However, the prevalence of VDD in this review is lower than the studies conducted in Egypt (73.3%), 17 Sudan (78.5%), 26 Ghana (92.4%), 19 Korea (71.1%–87.0%), 27 28 China (71.7%–79.9%), 29 30 Pakistan (78.8%–80.4%), 31 32 India (71.4%–91.4%) 33 34 and Japan (70.6%).…”

“…Vitamin D exerts its effects on the presence of specific vitamin D receptors on pancreatic β-cells, expression of 1-α-hydroxylase enzyme in pancreatic β-cells. The presence of a vitamin D response element in the human insulin gene promoter, stimulates expression of insulin receptor, and enhances insulin-mediated in vitro glucose transport (8,14) .…”
