Abstract
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: Magnesium deficiency has been proposed as a novel factor implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. Hypomagnesemia can be both a consequence and a cause of diabetic complications. The aim of our study was to know the relationship between magnesium levels and diabetes and also note its association with the level of control of diabetes. METHODS: This study was undertaken in PSG institute of medical research and hospital Research in coimbatore from May 2014 to September 2014. A total of 50 cases of type-2 diabetes mellitus were taken for the study after satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. 50 non diabetic patients were taken as controls. All the patients were evaluated in detail and serum magnesium levels were estimated using calmagite method. RESULTS: The serum magnesium levels among cases and controls were 1.47 ± 0.20 mg/dl and 1.67 ± 0.20 mg/dl respectively. The serum magnesium levels in controlled and uncontrolled were 1.57 ± 0.20 mg/dl and 1.41 ± 0.20 mg/dl respectively. INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSION: There was significant reduction in serum magnesium levels in diabetics compared to the controls. There was a significant correlation between magnesium levels and the level of control of diabetes. The levels of magnesium were found to be lower in uncontrolled diabetics.
