This study investigates the relationship between vitamin D deficiency and uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), indicated by elevated HbA1c levels, and the association between fasting C peptide levels and uncontrolled T2DM. A retrospective cohort study of T2DM patients (aged 18+) with baseline data on vitamin D, fasting C peptide, and HbA1c was conducted. Binary logistic regression analyses revealed significant associations between vitamin D and C peptide levels with uncontrolled diabetes. Higher levels of both were linked to a decreased likelihood of uncontrolled diabetes.
