Core Tip In a real-world cohort of euthyroid adults with type 2 diabetes, we examined the association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and the free triiodothyronine-to-free thyroxine (FT3/FT4) ratio, a pragmatic circulating proxy of peripheral thyroid hormone sensitivity. Using multivariable models with restricted cubic splines and segmented regression, we identified a low-range threshold around 14.7 ng/mL: The positive gradient was steeper below this level and was attenuated above it. The overall pattern was broadly consistent across prespecified subgroups, with attenuation among current drinkers. These findings are associative and require longitudinal or interventional confirmation.
