“…Evidence from epidemiological studies indicate an association between low levels of circulating 25-hydroxivitamin D and T2D or metabolic syndrome, partly due to increased fat mass [10]. Other micronutrients commonly deficient in T2D patients are folate [11] and vitamin B12 [12] whose absorption is impaired due to prolonged use of metformin [11]. In addition, despite its effectiveness in terms of weight loss and comorbidities resolution, including T2D, LSG is also associated with the development of micronutrient deficiencies (MNDs), among which vitamin D, vitamin B12, folates and iron are the most prevalent [13,14].…”
