Key result
Type 2 diabetes and higher BMI are linked to worse glycemic, lipid, and vitamin D profiles.
Why the study?
Dyslipidemia and vitamin D deficiency are common among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, and their relationship with lipid profile and BMI requires investigation.
Observational (n=120)
Type 2 diabetes and obesity are associated with significant alterations in glycemic indices, lipid profiles, and Vitamin D status compared to non-diabetic controls.
Dyslipidemia and vitamin D Deficiency are one of the most common disorders among type 2 DM patients, this study was conducted to investigate in the relationship between lipid profile and vitamin D status and body mass index (BMI) Among DM patients in Baghdad province / Iraq. study was madeon 120 subjects (diabetic as well non diabetic). The fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels, glycated HbA1c), lipid profile including total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, HDL andVLDL levels and serum vitamin D level were analyzed. Current study observied that the values for FBG, HbA1c, insulin, HOMOIR, TC, TG, HDL, LDL, VLDL, and Vitamin D, in male and female subjects increased significantly compare with control. Also, the results noted that the mean values for FBG, HbA1c, HOMOIR,TC, TG, HDL, LDL, VLDL, and Vitamin D in overweight and obese patient increased significantly compare with control. Diabetes mellitus makes a major cause for the occurrence of cardiovascular disease, lack of vitD may be one of most important causes for developing obesity and also T2DM

Hussein et al. (2026) conducted an observational in Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (n=120). Type 2 Diabetes mellitus and high BMI (overweight/obesity) vs. Non-diabetic and non-obese controls was evaluated on Levels of FBG, HbA1c, insulin, HOMA-IR, lipid profile (TC, TG, HDL, LDL, VLDL), and Vitamin D. Type 2 diabetes and higher BMI were associated with significantly increased fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, HOMA-IR, lipid profile markers, and altered Vitamin D levels compared to controls.
