Abstract
India is called the capital of diabetes mellitus and many people are suffering from microvascular and macrovascular complication and vitamin d supplement may prevent the complication and delays it. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a large public health problem which affects more than 300 million individuals in the world, with significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. In addition to the deleterious effects of the disease itself, its long‐term complications can conspicuously decrease the quality of life of diabetes patients. This was a prospective study including 50 subjects of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus admitted to hospital after meeting the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria. Patient consent was taken and patient vitamin D was done and patient underwent fundoscopy after which the vitamin D level was correlated with fundoscopic findings. When compared with vitamin D level it was found that 29 of control 100% had adequate vitamin D level and in cases 13 (61.9%) had deficiency which was stastically significant. Vitamin D level can be used as a marker in predicting the complication of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Supplementation of it may delay the progression towards the complication of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. We found that in type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patient vitamin D also plays as a risk factor and contribute in causing type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and correlation of vitamin D level and if found to be deficient then supplementing may delay the complication of microvascular and macrovascular complication.
