The effect of vitamin D on women with type 2 diabetes in the city of Samarra

Abstract

       The current study aimed to reveal the extent of the effect of vitamin D deficiency on women with type 2 diabetes in the city of Samarra. The results showed a relationship between vitamin deficiency and the occurrence of type 2 diabetes with increasing age, as the older the age, the less the vitamin, and this was linked to the occurrence of type 2 diabetes.                                                  

     Blood samples were collected for patients visiting the outpatient clinics of internal medicine and diabetes doctors during the period from the beginning of December 2022 until the end of February 2023. Blood samples were taken and the separated serums were then stored at -20 degrees until use. The ELISA technique was used to conduct tests such as glucose, insulin, and vitamin D using the ELISA technique.                                            

      The results showed a significant decrease at the level of     P≤ 0.001 in the levels of both D3 and insulin in the group with type 2 diabetes compared to the control group.
