Background: There has been a marked variance in the prevalence of Vitamin D deciency in India. Limited evidence is available regarding the correlation of Vitamin D with thyroid hormones in patients with Type II Diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Aims AND Objectives: To study the correlation of Vitamin D with thyroid hormones in patients with Type II Diabetes mellitus at tertiary health care in Tripura. Materials And Methods: Hundred patients with T2DM diagnosed as per American Diabetes Association (ADA) were studied in acrosssectional study which was conducted in the Department of Medicine at AGMC&GBP Hospital from January 2019 – June 2020. Blood tests were performed to estimate serum vitamin D level and thyroid prole and correlation was obtained with glycemic parameters. Results: T2DM was more prevalent in the age group of 60-70 years with mean age being 55.28 years. Majority had (52%) hypothyroidism, 38% had had vitamin D deciency and 13% had vitamin D insufciency. Majority of the Vitamin D decient patients TSH > 5 µIU/mL (31%). Linear regression analysis showed that inverse relationship between TSH and Vitamin D, HbA1c and Vitamin D. An equation of Vitamin D level estimation was derived as Vitamin D level = 28.48 – 0.81 * HbA1c level. Conclusion: Prevalence of vitamin d deciency is more prevalent among hypothyroid diabetics and the severity of the Vitamin D deciency correlated with hypothyroid status.

INTRODUCTION: Diabetes mellitus is a major public health problem with signicant morbidity and mortality. Diabetic retinopathy is one of the most common microvascular complications of Diabetes mellitus causing blindness. Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin involved in maintenance of mineral homeostasis and bone remodelling. Vitamin D deciency is highly prevalent in type I and type II Diabetes. 38 diabetic without ocular disease a METHOD: nd 30 diabetic with retinopathy were taken as cases and 38 age sex matched healthy persons were taken as controls. Serum Vit D and glucose were estimated and retinopathy was diagnosed by fundus examination. The results were statistically analysed. Statistica RESULTS: l analysis of the results shows a negative correlation between FBS and HbA1C with Vitamin D level in diabetic retinopathy patients. Patients CONCLUSION: with Diabetic retinopathy has lower serum Vitamin D level than diabetic patients without retinopathy.
