Role of magnesium in pre diabetes
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Pharmacy - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and an essential mineral in many cellular functions and metabolic processes. The link between diabetes mellitus and magnesium deficiency is known. Evidence suggests magnesium plays a vital role in reducing cardiovascular risks and is involved in the pathogenesis of diabetes. Studies have shown that both mean plasma and intracellular free magnesium levels are lower in patients with diabetes than in the general population. Magnesium supplementation improves insulin sensitivity. This case-control study was done after getting Ethical clearance from the institution. It consisted of 20 cases of pre-diabetes and 20 ages matched healthy non diabetics as control group attending outpatient department of Sree Balaji Medical College and Hospital, Chennai, Tamil Nadu. This study was undertaken to evaluate the serum magnesium level in patients with pre diabetes and compare it with age matched controls. After obtaining informed consent from the subjects, venous blood samples were collected by standard aseptic techniques. Serum was separated; Fasting blood sugar, post prandial blood sugar and magnesium level were estimated. Keywords: Magnesium, insulin resistance, pre diabetes.
