ABSTRACT
Introduction: Diabetes is common in Pakistan, with
prevalence rates ranged from 7.6 -11%. Diabetics especially type 2
diabetes mellitus have a much higher odds of being vitamin d deficient.
Objective: To compare mean decrease in glycated
hemoglobin in vitamin D supplementation with placebo in the treatment of type I
diabetes mellitus
Methodology: This study design was randomized controlled trial carried out at the medicine department Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar for duration of six months after synopsis
approval from July 2021 to December 2021. Sixty patients were included in our
study. Patients in group A were subjected to routine diabetes therapy plus
vitamin D supplementation in a dose of 600000 units per oral every two weeks
for 3 months and patients in group B were subjected to only routine diabetes
therapy. Data was entered and analyzed by statistical package for social
sciences (SPSS) version 20.
Results: Base line HbA1C Level among Group A patients
was analyzed as Mean was 9.27 and Std. Deviation was 1.58 whereas in group B subjects, the
mean HbA1C
Level was 9.28 and Std.
Deviation was 1.59. Post HbA1C Level in Group A patients was analyzed as Mean
was 7.29 and Std. Deviation was 1.40 whereas in group B subjects, the post mean HbA1C Level was 7.51 and Std. Deviation was 1.73
Conclusion: Our study concludes that
supplementation of Vitamin D could improve Vitamin D level in blood but have no
significant association with the reduction of
HbA1c level in patients with Type
II diabetes mellitus.
Keywords: Glycated hemoglobin;
Vitamin D supplementation, Type II diabetes mellitus
