Relation Between Plasma Vitamin K2 and Glycemic Control and Metabolic Parameters in Type 2 Diabetic Patients.

Background and Rationale: The agents inducing type 2 diabetes are yet to be clarified. Current studies show that several genetic and environmental parameters are associated with type 2 diabetes . Vitamin K is emerging as an important micronutrient for its beneficial role in improving insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism and reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2 D) . Studies demonstrated the lowest prevalence of Metabolic syndrome and its five components among individuals with the highest phylloquinone intake. Objectives : The aim of our study was to evaluate the relation between plasma vitamin K2 and uncontrolled Type 2 diabetic patients.
