| Popis: | Introduction and Aim: Diabetes mellitus is one of the commonest metabolic causes associated with hypomagnesaemia. Magnesium is said to be one of the chief neuroprotective and vasodilatory mineral of the body. The main aim of this study was to establish the potential correlation between the serum magnesium levels and the auditory acuity in type II Diabetes mellitus patients. Materials and Methods: It is a cross-sectional study done at Sree balaji medical college & hospital, Chrome pet, Chennai. In this study we evaluated a total of 200 type II DM cases consisting of 100 cases with poor glycaemic control, and 100 cases under glycaemic control, all are recently diagnosed cases of type II Diabetes mellitus, in the age groups of 40-55 years who had come to the hospital for their regular annual master check-ups. Their serum magnesium levels were measured using the xylidyl blue dye binding method and pure tone audiometry was also done. Results: Results showed that of the 100 poorly controlled type II DM subjects(i.e. HbA1c >/= 7),65 patients with hypomagnesaemia had sensory neural type of hearing loss & of the 100 type II DM subjects with controlled HbA1c levels(i.e. HbA1c |
