Aims: Due to the fact that vitamin D and calcium in diabetes can play a major role in diabetes, and informed of preventive measures. the present study aimed to evaluate the serum calcium and vitamin D status in patients with Type 2 Diabetes.
Instrument and Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in 2018 with participation of 122 children with type 2 diabetes at Tabriz University of Medical Sciences.
Findings: The venous blood samples were taken from all children to serum vitamin D and calcium levels and its levels were evaluated with diabetes. The mean serum calcium level was 9.45±0.85mg/dl and the average serum levels of vitamin D were 10.99±1.14ng/ml. Serum vitamin D levels were divided into three levels of severe deficiency, mild and natural deficiency; Also, serum calcium levels were divided into two normal and abnormal levels. Body mass index and diabetes time based on vitamin d and calcium group showed a significant difference between groups; This means that the low serum levels of vitamin D and calcium are predictors of diabetes in children.
Conclustion: Vitamin D supplementation in diabetic children in winter, when the rate of deficiency is very high, can be a practical solution to reduce the problems caused by this deficiency.
