Therefore, a study was undertaken to evaluate the role of vitamin D as an indicator of severe diabetic retinopathy. To this end, study subjects without diabetic retinopathy, two groups with diabetic retinopathy, and healthy participants were examined. Various eye measurements were executed, and vitamin D levels were measured in the test persons\u2019 blood, with the following results: Vitamin D levels decreased with the severity of diabetic retinopathy. Furthermore, vitamin D deficiency was significantly associated with the most severe form of diabetic retinopathy (proliferative diabetic retinopathy), which means that very low vitamin D levels may serve as an indicator for diabetic retinopathy in diabetic patients. More details can be found in the study.<\/p>\n<h3>References<\/h3>\n<p>Nadri et al.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><a style=\"color: #5aadcb;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6829921\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Link to article &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary Vitamin D deficiency is associated with diabetes and its complications.
