Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and its metabolic parameters; however there are conflicting results therefore we aimed to evaluate the effect of Vitamin D deficiency on type1 patients and vitamin D status in patients. In this study 30 children patients who had attended the dar alsalaam medical center, their age around 3-14 years old. All children were classified to 3 groups ; group 1 :type 1 diabetes using insulin injection, group 2: type 1 diabetes using insulin injection and received vitamin D either ergocalciferol or cholecalceferol , through 12-16 weeks, group3: healthy children they don’t received any treatment medication through the study period. The parameters were measured in this study are: fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting lipid ( total cholesterol, TC, triglyceride ( TAG), low density lipoprotein (LDL), very low density lipoprotein ( VLDL), high density lipoprotein ( LDL), glycosylated hemoglobin ( Hb A1c), calcium, blood urea, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen ( BUN) and Serum 25 hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D] were measured.We concluded from our study that vitamin D deficiency was highly prevalent in our patients groups with T1DM. There were statistically significant differences between patients with T1DM treated with insulin, T1DM treated with insulin and vitamin D and control.
