The present study was conducted to evaluate the relation of serum vitamin D<sub>3  </sub>and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Total 80 individuals were enrolled in this study. Forty newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic individual were enrolled as cases and 40 healthy glucose tolerant subjects were enrolled as controls. Serum vitamin D<sub>3</sub> was measured by chemiluminescence microparticle immunoassay. Fasting and 2 hours plasma glucose level were measured by hexokinase method using the Dimension clinical chemistry system. The mean serum vitamin D<sub>3</sub> level was significantly low in type 2 diabetes mellitus than in controls (p= 0,007). The individual with vitamin D<sub>3</sub> deficiency showed 3.4 times higher chances to develop type 2 diabetes mellitus compare to the individual with normal vitamin D status. Correlation test showed significant (r= -0.351) negative correlation (p=0.026)  between serum vitamin D<sub>3</sub> and type 2 diabetes mellitus. It can be concluded that vitamin D<sub>3</sub> deficiency is related to type 2 diabetes mellitus.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Journal}, author={Anwar, Taznuva and Rahman, Md.
