Methods: Retrospective analysis of 250 admitted type 2 diabetes inpatients admitted to the endocrinology department of qinghai provincial hospital of traditional chinese medicine from september 2022 to december 2023, collated and analysed the general data and laboratory indicators of the patient cases, and applied spss26.0 to process and analyse the data and explore the differences in the general conditions and commonly used clinical nutritional indicators of type 2 diabetes in patients with different 25-hydroxyVitamin D levels. The differences between the different 25-hydroxy Vitamin D levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Results: 1) A total of 250 inpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were included in this study, of which 56 cases (22.4%) were patients with 25 hydroxyvitamin D deficiency [25(OH)D P P P P > 0.05). 3) The distribution of some laboratory indexes among the three groups of patients was differentiated, with the average level of glycated haemoglobin in the lack group being significantly higher than that of the remaining two groups, the average level of albumin being significantly lower than that of the remaining two groups, and the average level of haemoglobin being significantly lower than that of the good group (P P > 0.05). Conclusion: The 25(OH)D level of type 2 diabetes mellitus inpatients is not optimistic. In clinical diagnosis and treatment, we should pay attention to the changes in 25 hydroxyvitamin D levels and other nutritional indexes of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and focus on the control of blood glucose levels and timely supplementation of vitamins, proteins, and lipids, in order to improve the patients’ physical status, reduce the incidence of complications, and improve the clinical efficacy and the patients’ quality of life.展开更多
