Despite receiving regular primary care visits before referral to the endocrine clinic, 91% of patients had either vitamin D deficiency (defined as a level below 15 ng/dL) or insufficiency (15 to 31 ng/dL).

Lower vitamin D levels were discovered in patients with higher average blood sugars as measured by HbA1c.
