PG - 362-368 AB - Vitamin D deficiency is common in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Vitamin D status may have a causal role in the onset of T2DM and may influence glycaemic control in these patients. However, data on vitamin D status among Bangladeshi T2DM patients are scarce. The present cross-sectional study was done among newly diagnosed 50 T2DM patients attending outpatient department of Comilla Diabetic Hospital, Bangladesh to address this lacuna. Serum 25(OH)D was measured in all and classified as normal (>/=30ng/mL), insufficient (>20 to 29.9ng/mL), and deficient (/=40 years) patients (28.31+/-4.3 vs. 27.44+/-2.6ng/mL, mean+/-SEM; p=0.869); males and females (26.79+/-2.1 vs. 31.09+/-8.2ng/mL, mean+/-SEM; p=0.470); among smokers, non-smokers and ex-smokers (26.86+/-4.31, 27.10+/-2.49 and 42.62+/-1.71ng/mL respectively, mean+/-SEM; p=0.363); among normal weight, overweight and obese (30.61+/-6.16, 35.61+/-9.52 and 24.27+/-1.71ng/mL respectively, mean+/-SEM; p=0.191); and among normotensive, borderline hypertensive and hypertensive (25.29+/-2.46, 32.57+/-5.32 and 20.84+/-3.66ng/mL respectively, mean+/-SEM; p=0.277) patients. 25(OH)D level showed significant negative correlation with body mass index (r= -0.391, p=0.017) and positive correlation (r=0.334, p=0.044) with fasting plasma glucose in male subjects. Age, sex, smoking status, BMI, systolic BP, diastolic BP, family history of DM and smoking status were not found to influence vitamin D level independently. Our study found high frequency of subnormal vitamin D in newly diagnosed T2DM patients. Screening for vitamin D status may be beneficial in T2DM patients.
