Abstract:
The present study highlights the importance of Vitamin D3 and its significance in Diabetes. We have recruited 34 type2 diabetes patients cross sectionally who were on regular treatment between 0-5 years from a Community HealthCare Center in Chennai, after obtaining the informed consent in vernacular language. Blood Investigations on Fasting, Post Prandial & Glycosylated Haemoglobin, Vit D3 levels were measured. Our main aim of this study was to elicit the relationship between Vit D3 and HBA1C. Among those participants 15(44.1%) were females and 19(55.9%) males. Data was analysed using SPSS 16.0, and the mean±SE (mean) of 8 patients who had “Good control” (i.e. HBA1C < 7%) was 16.5±0.82. Among them 3(37.5%) were females & 5(62.5%) were males. For 26 patients who were under ‘Bad Control’ (HBA1C ≥7%), Pearson’s coefficient of correlation between HBA1C and Vit D3 was observed to be negative ‘r = – 0.369’ (P = 0.044), which is yet to be perused with larger sample size.
