Vitamin D₃ metabolite ratio as an indicator of vitamin D status and its association with diabetes complications by Lina H. M. Ahmed (9571561)

“…</p><h3>Conclusions</h3><p dir="ltr">In this cross sectional study, whilst not causal, VMR-₂ was shown to be the superior predictor of diabetic and cardiovascular complications though not demonstrative of causality in this cross-sectional study population over VMR-₁, VMR-₃ and the individual vitamin D concentration measurements; VMR-₂ associated with both microvascular and cardiovascular indices and therefore may have utility in predicting the development of diabetic complications.…”
