Abstract

Children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) are at risk of vitamin D deficiency, which affects blood glucose control. A cross-sectional descriptive perspective recruited 66 T1DM children including 33 newly diagnosed T1DM patients and 33 established T1DM patients Objective to assess the concentration of serum 25(OH)D and glycemic status in T1DM children at the National Children’s Hospital. The concentration of 25(OH)D in T1DM children was 47 ± 16.8 nmol/L, the mean serum level in newly diagnosed T1DM children was 46.12 ± 17.14 nmol/L and in the established T1DM children was 48.2 ± 16.2 nmol/L however, the difference was not statistically significant (p > 0,05). 15.2% of T1DM chidren were 25(OH)D deficient, 39.4% were 25(OH)D insufficient and 45.5% were sufficient. The deficient and insufficient group was 55.5%. There was no association between the serum 25(OH)D concentration and HbA1c level in established T1DM children. Conclusion:Vitamin D deficiency is common in T1DM children.
