The Association of Vitamin K2 Level with the Glycaemic Status in Type 2 Diabetic Patients: A Case-Control Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The target of this work was to investigate vitamin K2 level link to glycaemic status in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients.

Methodology

Sixty T2DM patients were divided into 30 uncontrolled T2DM (group I), 30 controlled T2DM (group II) patients and 30 non-diabetic subjects as the control group. Vitamin K2 level, fasting insulin, homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), fasting blood glucose (FBG), 2-h postprandial blood glucose (PPG), glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and fasting lipids were documented. Waist circumference (WC) was measured and body mass index (BMI) was calculated.

Results

A highly significant difference between groups was observed in vitamin K2 level (P < 0.001) being 1.61 ± 0.56 ng/ml, 2.04 ± 0.59 ng/ml and 2
