Subsequently, vitamin D levels were measured and classified into three groups: normal, insufficient, and deficient. The results showed that low vitamin D levels and vitamin D deficiency were common in these patients. A significant decrease in vitamin D levels was observed with the advanced stages of diabetic retinopathy; lower vitamin D levels in the blood were associated with more severe diabetic retinopathy.
