A comparative study of serum magnesium in type II diabetes mellitus patients and non diabetics and its correlation with HbA1c
Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
Background: Magnesium (Mg) deficiency is a common problem in diabetic patients. Deficiency of Mg may increase the incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM). In this study, our aim was to evaluate level of serum magnesium in type 2 DM patients and non diabetic individuals and its correlation with HbA1C. Material and Method: 140 patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus in patients and out patients of tertiary care hospital between were included in the study. Also 140 non diabetic age and sex matched patients or relatives of patients attending opd during the same period were included in the study under the control group. Results: The mean age of cases was 57.06 ± 12.77 years while age of controls was 56.67 ± 12.7 years. This small difference was statistically not significant. There was no significant difference between mean serum Mg2+ values of male and female patients. (‘p’ = 0.18). The mean serum Mg2+ level in controls was 1.96 ± 0.18 mg/dl, which was significantly higher than the mean Mg2+ level of cases (1.69 ± 0.29 mg/dl). This difference was statistically significant. (‘p’< 0.001).Patients with low serum Mg2+ levels had a poor glycemic control (Raised level of HbA1C), while patients with normal serum Mg2+ levels had a good glycemic control (Normal HbA1C). This was statistically significant. (‘p’< 0.05). Conclusion: There is negative correlation between serum magnesium level and HbA1C of diabetes mellitus type 2. Serum magnesium levels are significantly low in patients with type 2 DM compare to non diabetic individuals
