Global study estimates Vitamin D as most common deficiency in diabetics, magnesium second-most

The Hindu  

Vitamin D is the most common deficiency, affecting over 60 per cent of people with diabetes, according to a global analysis published in the British Medical Journal Nutrition, Prevention & Health. The analysis, based on 132 studies conducted between 1998 and 2023 involving more than 52,000 participants, also found that magnesium deficiency affects 42 per cent of people with diabetes, while 28 per cent suffer from iron deficiency. Researchers, including those from the Indian Institute of Health Management Research, Rajasthan, said that the study helps assess the global prevalence of micronutrient deficiency -- whereby levels of vitamins and minerals essential for healthy bodily function are far too low -- in people with type 2 diabetes. The analysis also found that vitamin B12 deficiency affects 29 per cent of diabetes patients globally and is even higher among those taking metformin, a common anti-diabetes drug.
