Hypomagnesaemia In Diabetes Mellitus Type 2
Journal Title: Journal of Indus Medical College - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: Patients of diabetes mellitus type 2 have insufficiency of many important elements including serum magnaesium. Hypomagnesaemia is related with complications of diabetes mellitus and amplified the duration of disease. Objective: Main objective of the study is to evaluate the level of serum magnaesium levels and its association with glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) in patients of diabetes mellitus type 2. Methodology: The study was prospective, carried out at Department of Pathology and Department of Medicine, Indus Medical College Hospital Tando Muhammad Khan between the duration of January 2018 to June 2018. 265 individuals were selected for this study and were classified as control group (n=135) and diabetic group (n=130). Samples of all participants were collected in EDTA-containing tube and Gel tube for the evaluation of HbA1c and serum magnaesium respectively. The variables were evaluated and analyzed in SPSS 21.0. The p – value of <0.05 was taken as significant statistically. Results: Males in the study were 154 (58.1%) and females were 111 (41.88%). Mean age of the included participants in control and diabetic group was 48.3 ± 3.77 years and 49.10 ± 4.98 years respectively. Mean glycated haemoglobin in control group was 5.89 ± 1.02 %, and in diabetic group was 8.71 ± 1.86 %, with statistically significant association (p <0.001). The serum magnaesium level in control and diabetic group was 1.89 ± 0.25 mg/dL and 0.58 ± 0.13 mg/dL, with statistically significant correlation (p <0.001). Conclusion: Hypomagnesaemia was associated with increased level of glycated haemoglobin showing its strong correlation with glycaemic control.
