    <abstract locale="en_US">Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) causes various complications for the patient.
Methods: This study included patients admitted to the women&#x2019;s ICU. These patients were divided into a case and control group. Vitamin D was measured in all patients using the same laboratory kit and the results were categorized as Vit D insufficiency, Vit D deficiency and Vit D severe deficiency. Data This study was conducted using a registry checklist that included questions on Serum vitamin D levels, Anemia, Education, Age and Body mass index (kg/m2) which was completed using information available in the patient's clinical record.
Results: Result showed, in the Case Group, the mean (SD) age was 28.96 (1.54), BMI was 24.6 (0.81), and 48% of the mothers had anemia. Also, in the control group, the mean (SD) age was 29.2 (1.22), BMI was 25.96 (1.69), and 28% of the mothers had anemia. also, the findings showed that in the Case Group, 56% of mothers had Vit D deficiency, 16% had Vit D insufficiency, and 28% had severe Vit D deficiency. Also, in the Control Group, 32% of mothers had Vit D deficiency, 56% had Vit D insufficiency, and 12% had severe Vit D deficiency. Also, different vitamin D percentages were reported in the two groups studied(p&lt;0.05).
Conclusion: Given the relationship between vitamin D and GDM, it is recommended that necessary preventive measures be taken in this regard to prevent pregnant mothers from contracting the disease.</abstract>
