AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Background: Vitamin D receptor (VDR) mediates the effects of vitamin D. Our paper evaluates the FokI and BsmI VDR genotypes in 246 Caucasian (Italian from Lazio Region) T1DM patients compared with 246 Caucasian healthy controls, sharing age and gender and regional provenience with the patients. In addition, T1DM patients without complications were compared with those carrying three complications.
Methods: Genotyping has been obtained by RFLP-PCR technique.
Results: A slight significant association of T1DM with FokI homozygous "f" genotype was observed. No association was observed with the presence of multiple complications by a multivariate analysis.
Conclusion: T1DM patients showed slightly increased prevalence of "ff" VDR genotype.

Objectives: Because patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) have persistent and profound limitations in immune functions, immune response to vaccines may diminish. The aim of our study was to compare the antibody to Hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBs) serologies of children with T1DM, at the time of T1DM diagnosis, who were vaccinated according to the vaccination schedule with the anti-HBs serologies of healthy children. And to investigate the relationship between anti-HBs levels and the accompanying variables of these patients.

Background: The association between 25-hydroxy-vitamin D [25(OH)D] levels and glycemic control in pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between 25(OH)D levels and glycemic control in Saudi pediatric patients' with T1DM in a region that is sunny year-round.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in the Pediatric Department of King Saud Hospital in Unaizah, Saudi Arabia.

Background Type I diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a prevalent chronic illness that typically manifests in childhood. In patients who are genetically predisposed to diabetes, complex interactions between environmental and genetic factors play a role in the development of type 1 diabetes. There is proof that the onset of type 1 diabetes raises the possibility of developing additional autoimmune conditions.

Objectives: We evaluated the effect of a gluten-free diet (GFD) on HbA1c levels in patients with both type 1 diabetes and CD.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, biochemical and clinical information was gathered from 174 children with T1DM from January 2013 to January 2019.
Tailoring Exercise Prescription for Effective Diabetes Glucose Management.

Department of Kinesiology and Health, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, USA.
Context: Physical activity, exercise, or both are a staple of lifestyle management approaches both for type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM). While the current literature supports both physical activity and exercise for improving glycemic control, reducing cardiovascular risk, maintaining proper weight, and enhancing overall well-being, the optimal prescription regimen remains debated.
Evidence Acquisition: We searched PubMed and Google Scholar databases for relevant studies on exercise, insulin sensitivity, and glycemic control in people with T1DM and T2DM.
