Correlation between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and peripheral neuropathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus by Senzhen Chen, Jinfeng Chen, Shujing Zheng, Yiling Yan, Mengting Huang, Nuoqi Chen

“…The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis revealed that the optimal cutoff value for 25(OH)D3 in predicting DPN in T2DM was 18.85 ng/mL [area under the curve (AUC) 0.76, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.697–8.823], while the optimal cutoff for total 25(OH)D was 19.94 ng/mL (AUC 0.765, 95% CI: 0.703–0.828).ConclusionSerum 25(OH)D levels can serve as a simple and effective screening tool to predict the occurrence of DPN in patients with T2DM.…”
