Low Levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Type 1 Diabetes

Abstract: These findings suggest that vitamin D3 may be an important pathogenic factor in type 1 diabetes independent of geographical latitude, and that its supplementation should be considered not only at birth, but also at diagnosis of type 1 diabetes with the aim of favouring a Th2 immune response and protecting residual beta cells from further destruction.

“…The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was 43% in an Australian study [19], about 25% in an Italian study [21] and 15% in a recent study in US East Coast youth [20]. However, when focusing on the prevalence of vitamin D sufficiency, the data were similar: Bern: 13%; Australia: 19%; US East coast: 25%.…”

“…In addition, low serum vitamin D levels are associated with a higher fracture risk in elderly people [3]. Furthermore, vitamin D deficiency is common in healthy children at a variety of different latitudes [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] and in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D), in whom the highly variable prevalence ranges between 15-65% at the end of winter [19][20][21].…”

“…In our study 25(OH)D was significantly lower (mean ±SD of 7.88 ± 1.20 ng/mL) in patients, compared with 16.64 ± 7.83 ng/mL in the controls. Many recently published studies have found significantly lower levels of 25(OH)D in patients with diabetes compared with controls (6,8,10,26).…”

“…Overall, 84% of the T1DM children, and 59% of the healthy children were Vitamin D deficient (9). Prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency was 60.5% in a Swiss study (11), 43% in an Australian study (12), approximately 25% in an Italian study (13). In a cross-sectional study performed in Jeddah on 510 child ranged between 4-15 years,13.7% had a normal Vitamin D level,58.8% had relative deficiency,27.4% had severedeficiency.…”
