Abstract :Abstract Introduction: The effects of 25-hydroxyvitamin D insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(25insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(OH); D); on inflammation are gaining attention, particularly for diabetic individuals with COVID-19. Therefore, we examined 25insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(OH); D and inflammation-related markers in diabetic subjects with mild COVID-19. Materials and Methods: This investigation was intended to be retrospective. The present study covered the medical records of patients who applied to the our hospital between March 2020 and November 2022. All patients suffer from COVID-19. The control group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n = 30); had no diabetes, while the study group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n = 36); had diabetes. Inflammatory markers such as ferritin, C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were measured in addition to 25 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(OH); D levels in each subject. Also, the results of the complete blood count were obtained from the hospital database. Results: Our participants were matched in terms of gender and age between study groups. ESR, CRP, ferritin, and 25 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(OH); D levels, among other variables, did not significantly differ between the non-DM and DM groups insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p>0.05);. Also, we evaluated all participants according to deficiency of 25 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(OH); D, and inflammatory markers were not evaluated in diabetic subjects with COVID-19. However, our findings showed that ferritin levels and Hba1c levels in diabetic individuals significantly correlated positively. Conclusion: Diabetes mellitus and deficiency of 25 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(OH); D are known as risk factors for COVID-19. But as compared to non-diabetic participants with COVID-19, our findings did not reveal any considerable elevation neither inflammatory markers nor changes 25 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(OH); D in the diabetics.
