Abstract

Vitamin D deficiency is associated with a greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Studies looking at the effect of vitamin D replacement on glycaemic control in type 2 diabetics are few and conflicting. In addition, none have been published looking at the South Asian population despite both T2DM and vitamin D deficiency being gross burdens in this population. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of using vitamin D and calcium replacement therapy on glycaemic control in South Asian patients with T2DM and vitamin D inadequacy. Data were collected retrospectively from patients' records focusing on South Asians with established T2DM treated with combined oral vitamin D(3) and calcium supplementation. Vitamin D, parathyroid hormone (PTH), HbA1c and weight were recorded before and after 3 months on this therapy. Post-treatment, all patients' (n = 52) vitamin D levels were normalised (> 50nmol/l). There was a mean decrease in HbA1c of 0.70 +/- 0.77% (p < 0.001) in the vitamin D deficient group (n = 29) and 0.21 +/- 0.28% (p = 0.001) in the vitamin D insufficient group (n = 23). The change in weight post-treatment was only significant in the vitamin D deficient group at -0.80 +/- 1.11 kg (p = 0.001). Ov...Continue Reading

Biomarkers for Type 2 Diabetes

Biomarkers can help understand chronic diseases and assist in risk prediction for prevention and early detection of diseases. Here is the latest research on biomarkers in type 2 diabetes, a disease in which the body is unable to produce or properly use insulin.
