Introduction: Diabetes is defined as a disturbance in intermediary metabolism manifesting aschronic sustained hyperglycemia, primarily due to either an absolute or a relative lack of insulin.Many epidemiological studies have demonstrated an inverse relationship between vitamin D levelsand diabetes mellitus. However, there is a paucity of literature regarding the levels of vitamin D intype 2 diabetes, which is common in our community. This study was taken up to shed more light onthis issue. Material and methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at NRI Institute ofMedical Sciences, Sangivalasa, Visakhapatnam district. Cases of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus attendingto the outpatient department, diagnosed as per the ADA criteria of 2011, between the ages of 31and 75 years constituted the material for the present study. Results and conclusion: Vitamin Dlevels were found to be significantly lower in the study group (19.91±7.0 ng/ml) as compared to thecontrol group (32.22±4.0 ng/ml).

Vitamin D as an immunomodulator, plays an important role in controlling glycemic levels and decreasing diabetes complications. HbA1c is a marker of glycemic control which is known to have association with vitamin D. This study aims to see the differences in vitamin D serum levels and glycemic index in patients with type 2 DM.The design of this study is cross-sectional study and it was performed in RSUP HAM in December 2017 until March 2018. DM type 2 patients were classified based on HbA1c <7% controlled and ≥ 7% uncontrolled. Vitamin D serum levels were examined using the Enzyme-Linked Fluourescent Assay (ELFA) method., differences in vitamin D levels among controlled and uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus were assessed by using independent t-test, and the differences of HbA1c level were assessed using Mann-Whitney-U test.45 patients with type 2 DM were divided into controlled (HbA1c <7%) and uncontrolled patients (HbA1c ≥ 7%). There was no difference in vitamin D serum levels between controlled and uncontrolled DM Type 2 patients (p = 0,310).

To analyze the correlation between functional health literacy (FHL) and self-efficacy (SE) in people with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Cross-sectional study was conducted among September and October 2019, with 196 people with type 2 diabetes. Data were collected using the Functional Literacy in Health instrument (B-TOFHLA) and the Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale for Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DMSES). Bivariate analysis was used to verify the relationship among the constructs. Most diabetics showed an average B-TOFHLA score of 74.75, considered adequate, and self-efficacy of 4.07, high. The association between SE and FHL in the bivariate analysis found no statistical significance ( p > .05), in the same sense as the B-TOFHLA score and the DMSES domains ( p > .05). Constructs were not related to each other in terms of skills arising from judgments and decisions with motivational confidence by the investigated audience.
