Title :The effect of vitamin D and Physical exercise on glycaemic
control in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Abstract
Background and purpose:The purpose of this study was to find correlation
between vitamin D,Physical exercise on glycaemic control in patients of
type2DM.Experimental approach:The study was conducted from November 2019
to December 2020 among subjects above 40 years of age at sub-district
hospital Sopore,North Kashmir.Total 400 patients diagnosed with diabetes
were registered for the study.Questionnaire containing relevant patient
information was collected at regular intervals.Statistical analysis were
performed.Results: Biochemistry values in the studied subjects with
Type2DM compared to healthy controls in the study revealed that fasting
glucose level,HbA1c,LDL,triglycerides,uric acid were higher inT2DM group
compared to the control group.The results of our study showed that
Vitamin D deficiency,lack of physical exercise,family history of
T2DM,hypertension and smoking were significant predictors of diabetes.In
Type2DM patients,mean vitamin D value was 21.45ng/ml opposed to 40ng/ml
in the control group.Also physical activity was found to be higher in
control group when compared to cases with p -value less than
0.00001.Also family history of DM was significantly higher in cases when
compared to control group with p-value of 0.044.There was also
statistically significant difference when parameters like HTN and
smoking were compared (both higher in cases as against the control
group) between two groups with p value 0.044 and 0.029 respectively.
Conclusion and implications: Vit D,physical exercise,family history of
diabetes may be contributing factors for the rising burden of diabetes
globally and in India.We need to take cognisance of factors leading to
the rising global burden of DM and take appropriate and necessary
measures to stop this growing menace
