Abstract

Background: Widespread vitamin D deficiency all over the world has been documented by many previous studies including recent studies in KSA which revealed incidence reaching up to100%. Also, number of people with diabetes mellitus is increasing (7% of the world's population in 2011, elevated to 9% in 2014). This number is expected to exceed 435 million by 2030. Compared to other areas of the world, diabetes prevalence was highest in Saudi Arabia (20.22%). In 2015, there were 3.4 million cases of diabetes in Saudi Arabia. Many studies showed high association between vitamin D deficiency and increased incidence of diabetes.
Aim of the work: This study is planned to assess the incidence of vitamin D deficiency in non-diabetic and type II diabetic patients in KFU health center in Al-Ahsa region.
Methods: Our study is a cross-sectional study done on 860 patients' data including plasma 25-hydroxy vitamin D3, fasting blood glucose and HbA1c levels.
Results: Our results showed that 89.53% of the patients have vitamin D level below normal. There was higher incidence of vitamin D deficiency in females (81.67%) than in males (65.27%). The incidence of vitamin D deficiency was greater in Saudi (82.19%) than non-Saudi (68.40%) and in diabetics (89.68%) than non- diabetics (76.12%) patients. Within each group, the incidence of vitamin D deficiency was higher in females than in males. Incidence of vitamin D deficiency was highest in the 21 ā€“ 40 years group (86.19%) and lowest in the 1 ā€“ 20 years group (66.1%). The results showed inverse relationship between vitamin D level and both fasting blood glucose and HbA1c. The mean fasting glucose was higher in the deficiency group (165.55) as compared to the insufficiency group (118.67). Also, the mean HbA1c was higher in deficiency group (8.06) as compared to the insufficiency group (7.23).
Conclusions: There is high incidence of vitamin D deficiency among KFU health center patients. Vitamin D level was inversely proportional to the level of fasting glucose and HbA1c. This is an evidence of the vitamin D role on glucose tolerance in diabetic patients.
