Background: There are some studies about vitamin D level and type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Its effect on metabolic control of patients with type 1 DM is the subject of this study.
Patients and Method: In 339 patients with type 1 DM, 192 cases (99 males, 93 females) randomly enrolled in the study. The age of males was 9 ± 4.4 yr and age of females was 8.3±4.3 yr. Their HbA1C and 25(OH) D3 were measured by HPLC method. Vitamin D level was divided into group 1: ≤ 10 ng/ml, group 2: 11 20 ng/ml, group 3: 21 30 ng/ml, group4 : > 30 ng/ml. HbA1C level was compared in different vitamin D groups.
Results: Mean±SD of HbA1C was 10.2±2.3 in group 1 that was significantly higher than group 3 (8.2±1.6) (P value: 0.001) and group 4 (8.8±2.4)(P = 0.024). It was 9.7±2.3 in group 2 that was significantly higher than group 3 (P: 0.003) and group 4 (0.045). There was no significant difference between group 1 and 2 and also between group 3 and 4.
Conclusion: Vitamin D level more than 20 is accompanied by better metabolic control of type 1 diabetes mellitus.
