The Effect of Vitamin D Deficiency and Thyroid Hormone on Regulating Blood Glucose Levels in Type II Diabetic Patients in Salaheddin Hospital, Tripoli

Abstract

Blood glucose levels rise as insulin secretion declines, which is regarded as a major problem for numerous medical disorders. Diabetes patients' inability to control their blood glucose levels is also attributed to thyroid malfunction and vitamin D deficiency. This study aimed to confirm the possible interaction of these three crucial factors: patients' blood glucose regulation, thyroid dysfunction, and vitamin D deficiency. A descriptive analysis test was performed. The study tested a cohort of hospital visitors from February 2023 to April 2024. One hundred samples of men and women, all older than thirty, were tested. The IBM SPSS Statistics 26 (SPSS IBM) program was utilized to assess the study's results. The variables' Pearson correlation coefficient was ascertained, and the sigma test (σ) was computed to assess the quality of the different datasets. Results revealed that out of the 100 patients, 42% had vitamin D insufficiency, 10% had HbAb1c, and 30% had an imbalance in thyroid hormones. From the correlation coefficient test, the study concluded that there is no systematic linear association between vitamin D3 and the thyroid hormones. Additionally, there is no systematic linear relationship between vitamin D3 and T3 or T4. However, according to the results, there was a statistically significant correlation between Ca and vitamin D3 and between HbA1c and TSH. However, HbA1c does not systematically correlate with T3, T4, or Ca levels. In conclusion, results demonstrate that low vitamin D has no discernible impact on thyroid hormones, which may exacerbate the symptoms of diabetes.
