Multi-system effects of diabetes mellitus such as retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy and cardiovascular diseases are important public health concerns. A number of studies have reported the association between magnesium (Mg) and diabetes and its complications. However, conclusions were inconsistent. The Objective is to estimate level of serum magnesium in the development and progression of DM Type 2 and its complications.The present study was conducted in the Department of Medicine, S.P. Medical Collegeamp; Associated Group of Hospitals, Bikaner over a period of 6 months. The study design was a cross sectional study.In this study 50.4% of the patients were males and 49.6% were females. Overall, mean age of the study population was 48± 18 years. The mean BMI of the study population was 26.43 + 5.11 kg/m2.In this study majority of the patients with hypomagnesemia Mglt; 1.7mg/ dl were having diabetic complication, mainly microvascular complications. Patient with hypomagnesemia were showing significant association with nephropathy (plt;0.001, r= -0.48), neuropathy (plt;0.009), retinopathy (plt;0.007) and cardiovascular disease (plt; 0.001).The study did not show significant correlation with hypertension and cerebrovascular events.Measurement of serum magnesium should be considered in patients whose blood sugar is uncontrolled with anti diabetic drugs or insulin, as hypomagnesemia may be a cause for micro vascular complications of diabetes. Supplementation of magnesium is also cost effective and should be done if patient is found hypomagnesemia.Magnesium levels correlate with Microvascular complications specially Nephropathy. |
