Özet

Background: Vitamin D and its active form are potent immuno modulators and are known to play an important role in the glucose/insulin metabolism. Studies on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have shown that vitamin D increases insulin efficacy; however, there are no studies that define a similar relationship in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between serum vitamin D levels and the insulin requirement used in children with T1DM.
