Abstract

Background: Several studies have found an inverse association among parathyroid hormone (PTH), vitamin D level, and insulin resistance (IR) causing prediabetes and diabetes. 
Objective: To assess the level of vitamin D, PTH, and insulin resistance among adults with prediabetes and determine the association of PTH vitamin D and insulin resistance (IR). 
Methods : This cross-sectional study was carried out in 140 newly detected adults with prediabetes according to ADA 2019 criteria. 25(OH) D cutoffs to define deficiency and insufficiency were used according to Endocrine Society (USA) criteria, Measurement of intact PTH, vitamin D and insulin (fasting) was done by chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA).
Results: In this study, most of the study population was 30 years and above (73.0%). The male-female ratio was 1:7, the majority of participants came from urban areas (81.0%). 37.0% had raised PTH and most of the participants (79.0%) were vitamin D deficient. A significant association was found between PTH and insulin resistance. Though it was observed that there was an increasing trend of insulin resistance across increasing severity of vitamin D deficiency but statistically it was not significant (p=0.74) 
Conclusion: Our study results demonstrate an inverse relationship between PTH and insulin resistance but there was no association had been found between vitamin D and insulin resistance in individuals with newly detected untreated prediabetes. The clinical significance of these observations warrants further study to explore these relationships more appropriately.
