Abstract :

Vitamin D deficiency is an important risk factor for glucose intolerance. It mainly regulates calcium and phosphate metabolism, its deficiency may also be involved in the aetiopathogenesis of carcinomas, autoimmune diseases, infections, respiratory and cardiac diseases. Vitamin D is a known suppressor of renin biosynthesis, and vitamin D deficiency has been associated with progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Patients with type 2 diabetes and CKD have an exceptionally high rate of severe 25–OH vitamin D deficiency. Our aim was to investigates the vitamin D levels between Type 2 diabetic patients with and without microvascular complications. Although vitamin D deficiency is more common in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus than healthy subjects, no relationship between vitamin D deficiency and microvascular complications of diabetes was found.
