  ABSTRACT: Background: Pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) have increased risk for low bone mineral density, which may be due in part to low 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels. Vitamin D levels are influenced by sunlight exposure and thus display geographical variation. We hypothesize that the prevalence of 25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency (duration, HbA1c, or insulin dose/kg and 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels. Conclusions: There is an increased prevalence of 25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in US. children with T1D compared with geographically similar children without diabetes. Further research is needed to determine whether decreased serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D can be alleviated via dietary or behavioral modifications in this population.
