Abstract :

Objectives: This present study was to evaluate the fasting blood sugar levels, BMI, HbA1C and vitamin D deficiency in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Methods: 10 ml of venous blood was drawn after 8–10 hours of fasting of patients. It was then transferred to plain vial (5ml) and EDTA vial (5ml). After clotting, the samples were centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes. Estimation of Fasting plasma sugar was done in TurboChem 240 auto analyzer using standard kits of Randox. And it was estimated by Glucose Oxidase–Peroxidase method. 25 hydroxyvitamin D serum level was measured by using the Instant vitamin D (CLIA) method using neo lumax semiautoanalyser machine. Estimation of HbA1c was performed by using identi HbA1c (Glycosylated Haemoglobin) Standard Set. BMI was calculated by the formula: BMI(kg / m2) = Weight(Kgms) / Height(m2). Results: Data was analysed by using Instat 3 software. Mean and standard deviations were observed. Unpaired t test was applied. P value was taken less than or equal to 0.05 for significant differences (p≤0.05). Conclusions: A significant relationship of vitamin D deficiency was found in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. And also found a significant relation in FBS, HbA1C, BMI with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Hence, prompt investigation should be performed for the diagnosis of vitamin D deficiency in type 2 diabetes mellitus. So that, supplementation of vitamin D would be advise on proper time for the management of vitamin D deficiency in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.
