Vitamin D Inadequacy on Postprandial Glucose in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

NCT01488916 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 45

Last updated 2011-12-14

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Vitamin D deficiency is associated with an unfavorable metabolic profile in several observational studies. However, the influences of vitamin D concentrations on postprandial glucose in type 2 diabetes (DM) are less studied. The purposes of the study are to study the effects of vitamin D inadequacy on postprandial glucose excursion and metabolic responses in patients with type 2 DM. This is a cross-sectional study. About 150-180 patients will be screened for serum levels of 25(OH)D. A total of 45 eligible patients will be grouped into three groups by different vitamin D status: vitamin D deficiency, vitamin D insufficiency, and the controls. The patients will receive a mixed meal test for postprandial glucose excursion and metabolic responses. The investigators will use statistical methods to assess the differences in post-challenge glucose and metabolic response among the three groups of patients. The investigators hope the study can explore the relationship between vitamin D and glucose excursion in patients with type 2 DM.
