Abstract

Background: Emerging data found that Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with Vitamin D deficiency at various frequencies. This study aims to estimate the prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency in T2DM patients in Qatar and the correlation between Vitamin D deficiency and other variables such as dyslipidemia, glycemic control, and microalbuminuria. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional analytical study was conducted in the medical outpatient clinic at Hamad General Hospital. The study involved adult patients (?18 years) with T2DM. The study covered patients admitted between January 1, 2018, and July 31, 2018. Ethical approval was obtained from the Medical Research Committee. Results: We recruited 400 subjects with T2DM. Their mean age was 58.97±10.32 years, and the majority were women (52.0%) and Arabs (69.5%). The mean duration of Type 2 diabetes diagnosis was 14.94±8.99 years. The prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency was 29.5%. A comparison between Vitamin D deficiency and non-vitamin D deficiency groups showed a statistically significant difference in terms of fasting blood (FB) sugar (p<0 xss=removed p=0.004), p=0.007). r=?0.208, r=?0.20, r=?0.260, r=?0.218, r=?0.176, p=0.004), r=?0.342, r=?0.184, p=0.007).>
