Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the rising incidence of Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and examines the role of 25OHD (vitamin D) deficiency as a potential trigger for the disease.
- A case-control analysis was conducted with 147 T1DM patients under 19 years old compared to 147 matched controls, revealing lower average serum 25OHD levels in T1DM patients (15.02 ng/ml) versus controls (19.29 ng/ml).
- Findings indicate a significant negative correlation between HbA1c (a measure of diabetes control) and serum 25OHD levels, emphasizing the need for awareness and potential vitamin D supplementation in children and adolescents with diabetes.
