Data show that vitamin D deficiency may play a role in patients with diabetes mellitus and COVID-19 infection. In this article, we review evidence of vitamin D deficiency and COVID-19 infection in context of diabetes mellitus.
A literature search was carried out by using the key term 'COVID 19' combined with 'Diabetes', 'Vitamin D', 'Extra skeletal effects', 'immunity', 'infection', 'India' from Pub Med (National Library of Medicine, Bethesda, MD and Google Scholar from December 2019 to May 2020. A manual search of the references was also carried out.
Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to increased morbidity and mortality in COVID -19 infections but convincing data on diabetic subgroup of patients in particular is still awaited.
Robust studies are required to ascertain if Vitamin D supplementation could be beneficial in patients with diabetes and COVID-19.
数据显示，维生素D缺乏可能在糖尿病患者和新冠病毒感染患者中起作用。在本文中，我们回顾了在糖尿病背景下维生素D缺乏与新冠病毒感染的证据。
通过使用关键词“COVID - 19”与“糖尿病”“维生素D”“骨骼外效应”“免疫”“感染”“印度”相结合，于2019年12月至2020年5月在PubMed（美国国立医学图书馆，马里兰州贝塞斯达）和谷歌学术上进行文献检索。还对手参考文献进行了人工检索。
维生素D缺乏与新冠病毒感染的发病率和死亡率增加有关，但特别是关于糖尿病患者亚组的确凿数据仍有待获取。
需要进行有力的研究来确定补充维生素D对糖尿病合并新冠病毒感染的患者是否有益。
