In male DM patients, the hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level increased significantly as vitamin D levels became severely deficient. DM was defined as a fasting glucose level ≥126 mg/dL, current use of DM medications or insulin injections, or a self-reported diagnosis of DM by a doctor. Patients were classified into 3 groups according to the 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration. We analyzed data for 32,943 adults aged 19 years and older from the 2008 to 2014 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Therefore, we examined the association between vitamin D and glucose levels in individuals with and without DM. However, few studies have examined whether vitamin D continues to affect glucose control after DM diagnosis. According to previous studies, vitamin D deficiency might increase the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).
