Role of serum magnesium in diabetes mellitus - A case control study
Journal Title: International Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction Diabetes mellitus characterized by high glycemic levels is routinely associated with many mineral abnormalities The purpose of this study was to evaluate the levels of serum magnesium among subjects with diabetes mellitus and to compare and analyze the same in normal non diabeticsMaterials and Methods In this case control study conducted at Malla Reddy Hospital 50 subjects known to be diabetics were considered as cases and 50 apparently normal non diabetics were the controls Serum magnesium was estimated compared and analyzedResults Serum magnesium levels were 189 032 among cases and 226 027 among controls Extreme statistical significance was observed between both the groupsConclusion Serum magnesium levels were found to be decreased in subjects with diabetes mellitus We conclude that diabetes mellitus could influence magnesium homeostasisKeywords Diabetes mellitus Magnesium Fasting plasma glucose
