The Association between Vitamin D3 and Ca levels with Diabetes Type one

Abstract

50 patients and 30 healthy controls in different gender are roughly selected in wide range of age between (18-80 years), taken from different private laboratories in Baghdad through the period (2021-2022). They were separated into two groups (male 39– female 11(patients)) (male 17- female 13) control and applied a vitamin D test and Ca level. This study is designed to investigate the possible association between Ca and Vit D3 levels and diabetes type one patient. A highly significant difference between the patient and healthy control in low Ca levels (p-value 0.0084 **) A highly significant difference between the patient and healthy control in normal Ca levels (p- value 0.0097 **) while no significant difference when the Ca level is high (p-value 0.894 NS). No significant difference between the patient and healthy control in Vit D3 deficiency group (p-value 0.083 NS) while there is a significant difference between the patient and healthy control in Vit D3 insufficient group (p- value 0.0392 *) while there is no significant difference in Suboptimal vit D3 level group (p-value 00.602 NS). Also there is no significant difference in optimal vit D3 level group (p-value 0.907 NS). The conclusion of this study suggests that Men may be more likely than women to develop type 1 diabetes within the area from which the samples were collected depending on the results. Smoking may also be an influential factor, regardless of gender. But also non-smoking people have the condition. Blood pressure was not a significant factor in this study. People with diabetes tend to have lower levels of calcium in their bodies than normal people. They also have insufficient levels of vitamin D compared to normal people.
