Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with increased morbidity and mortalitydue to the development of complications, especially due to poor glycemic control. Besides its role incalcium homeostasis, Vitamin D has been involved in the pathophysiology as well as glycemiccontrol of type 2 DM. Methods: 100 patients diagnosed with type 2 DM were included. Vitamin Dlevels along with glycosylated haemoglobin were measured in all the individuals. Results: Vitamin Ddeficiency was observed in 48% of the patients. Vitamin D levels were not associated with markersof glycemic control (HbA1c). Conclusions: Hypovitaminosis D was observed nearly in half of thepatients with type 2 diabetes, suggesting a potential for vitamin D supplementation in type 2 DMpatients.
