Effect of hypomagnesaemia on glucose homeostasis in diabetic foot ulcers
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus, a metabolic disorder has got complications like neuropathy, nephropathy, retinopathy, microvascular angiopathy and foot complications. Foot complications like foot ulcer, gangrene may end in amputation. Recent studies have stressed the role of hypomagnesemia as one of the contributing factors of diabetic complications. Our study was done to assess the level of serum magnesium level in subjects with diabetic foot ulcers to diabetics without foot ulcer and non-diabetic subjects. Totally 146 subjects were recruited in this study and were divided into three groups, namely, nondiabetics (group-I), diabetes without foot ulcer (group-II) and diabetes with foot ulcer (group-III). These subjects were investigated for FBS, HbA1c and serum magnesium. Analysis of the results obtained showed more pronounced hypomagnesemia in group-III than the other two groups and was statistically significant. Hence we conclude that level of serum magnesium plays an important role in diabetic foot ulcers
