Abstract :

Magnesium is an essential ion for human health, as it is involved in virtually every mechanism in the cell. Multiple factors in diabetic patients lead to hypomagnesemia. Hypomagnesemia in turn leading to deterioration of glycemic control and increased incidence of microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus. Thus, this study is undertaken to evaluate the relationship of serum magnesium with glycemic control and microvascular complications of type 2 DM. Aims and objectives: To estimate serum magnesium levels in type 2 Diabetes mellitus. To study the association of hypomagnesemia with glycemic control and microvascular complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Settings and Design: Case–control study Methods and Material: 70 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients’ serum magnesium was assessed and was grouped into cases and controls according to the serum magnesium. Cases have Mg of 1.6mg/dl or less and controls with Mg of more than 1.6mg/dl. Glycemic control was compared among both the groups. Statistical analysis used: Data were entered in MS–Excel and analyzed in SPSS V22. Chi–square test, t–test were applied to find significance. Karl Pearson correlation or spearman correlation was applied depends on nature of the data. P<0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: There was no significant difference in mean duration of diabetes among both groups. Mean FBS was significantly (p= 0.03) high among the cases (221.33mg/dl) compared to controls (175.31mg/dl). Mean glycosylated hemoglobin, an important marker of glycemic control is 9.99g% and 8.46 g% among cases and controls respectively. (p = 0.002). Conclusion: Hypomagnesemic diabetic patients have poor glycemic control when compared with patients with normal magnesium levels.
