Background and objective: Vitamin D deficiency appears to be related to the development of diabetes mellitus type 2 and metabolic syndrome. This study aimed to assess the association between the level of 25-hydroxy vitamin D{25(OH)D3 and the glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: This case-control study involved 240 participants divided into two groups, 119 patients with type 2 diabetic mellitus and 120 healthy individuals as a control group. The study was conducted in Layla Qassim Diabetic Center in Erbil from March 2018 to March 2019. The data were collected from all the cases, including history and physical examination, using a specially designed questionnaire. From all cases, blood was taken, and samples were sent to the laboratory for serum vitamin D3 level estimation. Results: From the total of 240 participants, the mean age of cases was 54.04 ± 10.56 years and of controls was 53.12 ± 9.84 years. The mean serum vitamin D3 level of the cases was 9.21 ± 5.69ng/ml, and it was non-significantly (P = 0.3) higher than the control (8.61±4.57)ng/ml. Both groups were within the vitamin D deficient range. Vitamin D level was non-significantly deficient in 84 (70.6%) of diabetic patients compared to 89(73.6%) of control. There was a non-significant difference in vitamin D level in poorly controlled diabetic patients compared to well-controlled diabetic patients (P = 0.584). Conclusion: No significant association was detected between vitamin D level and glycemic control. Keywords: Type 2 diabetes mellitus; Vitamin D3 level; Glycemic control.

AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of short-term education on glycemic control (glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c] and fasting blood sugar [FBS]) among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients attending to primary health care (PHC) in Medan Johor of North Sumatera, Indonesia. METHODS: The study was performed on type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in Johor PHC, Medan of North Sumatera, on 40 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. We took the samples of all the patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus who attend PHC in Medan Johor. The patients received for 3 months intervention by education. An educational course of diabetes together with exercise training and nutritional education was designed for the study population in order to increase the patients’ knowledge and attitude toward diabetes and to increase their participation in the self-monitoring of glycemic control. Samples of FBS and HbA1c were recorded for each patient at the time of the baseline survey, then health education was conducted to the diabetic patients of both sexes attending PHC. The patients received standard advice on diet management and variation about activity. We put HbA1c <6.5% as cut limit for the control of diabetes mellitus. RESULTS: All 40 type 2 diabetes patients completed the educational course. The mean of age of the samples is 62.53 years old, the mean of body mass index was 24.81 kg/m, and the mean of waist size was 92.15 cm. Before the education, the mean of FBS level was 238.83 mg/dl and the mean of Hba1c value is 8.90%. After education, the FBS was 216.88 mg/dl, the mean of HbA1c value was 8.74%. CONCLUSION: The effect of health education in Johor Public Health Care Medan city reduced glycemic control (FBS) in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, North Sumatera, Indonesia.

Serum 1,5-anhydro-d-glucitol (1,5-AG) concentrations are short-term hyperglycemia indicators and were used to estimate the effects of serum vitamin D concentrations on glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Serum concentrations of 1,5-AG, 25-hydroxyvitamin D2(25-OH-D2), and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3(25-OH-D3) from 11 026 patients with T2DM, hospitalized in the Department of Endocrinology, Shanghai Central Hospital of Xuhui District, from January 2012 to June 2015, were retrospectively analyzed. Correlation analyses revealed correlations between 1,5-AG and 25-OH-D3(r = 0.05, P < 0.001), age (r = 0.05, P < 0.001), and 25-OH-D2+ 25-OH-D3(25-OH-D2/D3) (r = 0.05, P < 0.001). Linear regression analyses revealed associations between 1,5-AG and 25-OH-D2/D3(adjusted R2= 0.003) as well as 25-OH-D3(adjusted R2= 0.002). In males with 1,5-AG levels ≤11.55 mg/L, serum concentrations of 25-OH-D2(P < 0.001) and 25-OH-D3(P = 0.001) were significantly lower than those in diabetic males with 1,5-AG levels >11.55 mg/L. Serum concentrations of 25-OH-D2/D3in patients with T2DM were associated with 1,5-AG retention, suggesting involvement in glycemic control.

Background: Diabetes mellitus are a group of disorders as a result of reduced insulin secretion, insulin resistance, and increased glucose production and many more unknown etiologies. As compared to diabetic non-obese, diabetic obese individuals have an increased chance of 13.5 % in developing diabetic complications. Many diabetic patients are found to be vitamin-D deficient and its role in insulin regulation is being studied in many studies. Thus, diabetic complications and vitamin-D deficiency are likely to be developed in obese diabetic females.Methods: Type-2 diabetic females from 30 years to 60 years, attending in medicine as out-patient and female type-2 diabetes patients admitted in medical ward of RRMCH were assessed clinically. Parameters such as anthropometric measurements, weight, height, waist-hip ratio, tested for serum levels vitamin-D including other relevant investigations related to diabetes were done. Totally, 156 patients were assessed.Results: Assessment of 156 patients are as follows, 48.47±9.56years was the mean age of this study group. SD: 5.10±4.36 years is the mean diabetic duration of this study population. 0.98 was the mean waist-hip ratio. 98.93 cm was the mean waist circumference. 24.97 was the mean BMI. Mean fasting blood sugar (FBS) and post-prandial glucose test (PPBS) were: 202.73 mg/dl, 280.99 mg/dl respectively, 9.33% was the mean HbA1C. Majority of the females with type-2 diabetes (92.5%) had low levels of serum vitamin-D. 16.19 ng/ml was the mean serum vitamin-D levels. lower levels of serum vitamin-D were significantly associated with diabetic duration (p=0.082+), poor glycaemic control (p<0.001**) and increased BMI (p=0.011*).Conclusions: Majority of the females with type-2 diabetes mellitus were with waist-hip ratio more than 0.8 and Waist circumference more than 80 cm. Most of the study population had poor diabetic control. Lower levels of serum vitamin-D were found in almost all females with type-2 diabetes mellitus (92.5 %) and the most likely risk factor being obesity and poor glycaemic control as a conclusion of this study.

Background: Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that can affect nearly every organ system in the body. Recently, Vitamin D3 was given some importance worldwide in the pathogenesis of diabetes. The extraskeletal effects of Vitamin D3 have attracted considerable interest. The identification of 1,25(OH)2D3 and 1-Alpha-Hydroylase expression in pancreatic Beta cells, in cells of the immune system,and in various  other tissues besides the  bone  system , supports the role of Vit D3 in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. Vit D3 deficiency appears to be related to development of diabetes mellitus type 2 and metabolic syndrome. Aim of the Study:The goal of this study is to find out whether this correlation between vitamin D and Diabetes is present or not. Mainly in this study we have tried to correlate vit D with HbA1C levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Subjects and Methods: The present one and half years, cross sectional study was carried out in department of medicine, Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital, Darbhanga, Bihar from March – 2018 to  September – 2019. A total of 125 patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus were studied. The estimation of vitamin D was done. Using Siemens, ADVIA centraurVit D assay a one pass 18 minute antibody competitive immunassay. Results: Maximum no. of cases was in the age group of 51 to 60 that is 40 patients (32%).The mean age of studied population was 60.22 +- 11.65 years. Out of 125 patients 77(61.6%) were males and 48 patients (38.4%) were females, with a ratio of male to female of 1.60:1. In 104 patients (83.2%), the level of vitamin D were below normal, in 11 patients (8.8%) the levels insufficient  and in remaining 10 patients , the levels were either normal or more than normal. Conclusion: There was an inverse association between vitamin D and HbA1C in patients with type -2 Diabetes Mellitus. Lower Vit D levels are associated with poor glycemic control. That means – Low vit D – high HbA1C. Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent in Diabetes mellitus type 2 so by supplementation of vitamin D we can improve glycemic controls in patients of Diabetes mellitus type 2. By improving glycemic control, we can reduce the complication of Diabetes.

Introduction: Zn supplementation improved glutathione peroxidase enzyme activity and decreased malondialdehyde and nitric oxide levels in diabetic rats, revealing Zn's defensive effect against oxidative stress in type 2 diabetes. The investigators have discovered that consuming Zn increased liver function and protected pancreatic tissue from damage caused by diabetes. Since Zn also prevents chronic hyperglycemia, it helps to minimize oxidative stress caused by type 2 diabetes. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a global health problem that affects more than 3 million people worldwide (16% of population). Chronic hyperglycemia causes oxidative stress in diabetic patients by the development of free radicals (oxidants) and lowering the antioxidant protection mechanism. Aim: Glycaemic Regulation with Zinc Combination in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Materials and Methods: Faculty of Medicine and Diabetic Opd, Datta Meghe Mediсаl Соllege and Shаlinitаi Meghe Hоsрitаl аnd Reseаrсh Сenter, Nаgрur in соllаbоrаtion with Dаttа Meghe Institute оf Mediсаl Sсienсes Deemed to be University, Sаwаngi, Wаrdhа, Mаhаrаshtrа. Results: The mean Zn level was 12.213±2.342in all participants and 9.121±1.782 in the control group, whereas it was significantly low (9.121±1.782) in the diabetic group, and there was statistically significant difference in Zn levels between the controls and the diabetic group (P < 0.001).FBS, HbA1C, serum Zinc mean effects between control and patients showed statistically significant differences in type 2 diabetes mellitus (P <0.0001). Conclusion: Our findings show that people with diabetes have lower levels of Zn than healthy people. The cause and effect of the association between very low levels of Zn and the progression of diabetes, or diabetes that causes Zn deficiency, is still unknown. Low levels of Zn are associated with poor glycemic control, and poor glycemic control is a good indication of Zn deficiency, as there was a negative association between serum Zn and FBS and HBA1C. If diabetic patients have low glycemic regulation, a long history of diabetes, obesity, or are over the age of 50, we look to assess their levels in Zn so that Zn alternative treatment can begin to release oxidative stress in this high-risk group.

Background: Type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a progressive and chronic disease characterized by both β-cell dysfunction and increased insulin resistance. Diabetes mellitus is now considered a giant killer disease of the 21st century with its vicious prongs in the South-East Asian countries, specially India, which is rightly said to be the ''Diabetes Capital'' of the world. Vitamin D has important effects on insulin action, and may impact on a number of pathways which may be of importance in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Materials & Methods: In this study 62 Type-2 diabetic patients, 62 healthy controls were enrolled. Biochemical analytes measured were Serum glucose (Fasting Blood Sugar & Post Prandial Blood Sugar), Glycosylated Haemoglobin, Serum Vitamin-D. Results: The mean Serum Vitamin-D in Type-2 diabetic subjects were (16.3 ±3.0) while in healthy subjects(controls) the values were (39.3±5.2) respectively. These values were found to be statistically highly signicant(p<0.001). Conclusion: Serum Vitamin-D levels were decreased in Type 2 diabetic subjects as compared to the values in healthy subjects(controls).
