NCT ID NCT07729553
First seen Jul 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study is investigating whether vitamin D levels are linked to cholesterol and other blood fats in obese adults with type 2 diabetes. Researchers will measure vitamin D status and lipid profiles in 150 participants from a diabetes clinic in Cairo. No treatments are given — the goal is to see if a connection exists that could guide future care.

- What this could lead to
- If a link is found, it could point toward vitamin D screening or supplementation as a way to manage cholesterol in obese adults with type 2 diabetes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. The results may simply reflect other factors like diet or lifestyle.
