dc.description.abstract Aim: To determine the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus and to compare this with vitamin D deficiency in health adults. Methods: This case control study was conducted in DHQ hospital Gujranwala within a period of 8 months from 1-Jan-2017 to 31-Aug-2017. We included 100 patients of type of diabetes and 100 health individuals in this study. Both male and female patients having age 30-70 years with diagnosis of type 2 diabetes were selected. Patients were labelled as vit. D levels if vitamin d levels were <20 ng/ml.Chisquare test we used for comparing the frequency of vit. D deficiency between the cases and controls. Results: Mean age of patients was 48.55+14.62 in diabetes groups and 46.15+12.43 in comparator group. Regarding gender, in diabetes group percentage of males was 53.0% and in comparator group was 51.0% (p-value 0.77). Vitamin d levels were significantly less 13.45+6.61 ng/ml in diabetic patients and 17.90+8.15 ng/ml in comparator group (p-value <0.001). Vitamin D deficiency was diagnosed in 69% patients in diabetes group and in 23% patients in comparator group (p-value <0.001). Conclusion: Prevalence of vitamin D (25-OH vitamin D levels) is high in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients as compared to the normal healthy adults. Diabetic patients should be evaluated for vitamin D deficiency. en_US
