Abstract: Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and its metabolic parameters; however there are conflicting results therefore we aimed to evaluate the effect of Vitamin D deficiency on type1 patients and vitamin D status in patients. In this study 30 children patients who had attended the dar alsalaam medical center, their age around 3-14 years old. All children were classified to 3 groups ; group 1 :type 1 diabetes using insulin injection, group 2: type 1 diabetes using insulin injection and received vitamin D either ergocalciferol or cholecalceferol , through 12-16 weeks, group3: healthy children they don’t received any treatment medication through the study period.
