Excessive urinary magnesium loss associated with glycosuria is probably the most important factor in the genesis of hypomagnesemia in diabetic. Previous studies have shown that Diabetes mellitus’s association with disturbed magnesium metabolism. In this study serum magnesium levels of diabetic patients are estimated and correlated with duration,microvascular complicatios and variables like age, sex, smoking, etc. This study was carried out in Department of General Medicine at Government Stanley Medical College and Hospital , Chennai during the period between March 2016 and August 2016.
