Abstract
Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a rising public health problem and a common chronic metabolic disease worldwide. It represents a group of metabolic diseases that are characterised by hyperglycaemia due to an absolute or relative deficiency of insulin release and insulin resistance or both. Diabetes mellitus is considered a leading cause of mortality due to its microvascular and macrovascular drawbacks. Resistance to insulin mediated glucose uptake plays a major part in the development and clinical dilemma of cases with type 2 DM. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate vitamin D status in pre-diabetic in cases with impaired glucose tolerance and impaired fasting. Subjects: This is a Cross sectional study that was conducted on 80 cases that included and divided into four groups. Prediabetic group of 40 consecutive patients (with IFG and IGT), 20 cases type 2 DM and the healthy group of 20 control cases. Results: The study was significant -ve correlation between vitamin D and BMI in group 2 (IFG) (r= -0.461 and p=0.041), systolic blood pressure among cases with IGT (r= -0.577 and p=0.008), and Albumin among group 2 (IFG) (r= -0.606 and p= 0.005). There was a statistically significant difference among the groups as regards the BMI, systolic and diastolic BP, mean fasting blood glucose and HOMA (P< 0.01).
