Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a common disease; the total number of diabetes patients is expected to reach 366 million by 2030. Magnesium has received considerable attention for its potential role in improving insulin sensitivity and preventing diabetes and its cardiovascular complications. Hypomagnesaemia is linked to poor control of type 2 diabetes mellitus, and depletion of serum magnesium occurs exponentially with duration of disease. The aim of this study was to measure serum magnesium level and the correlation of magnesium level with HbA1c in type 2 diabetes mellitus. In this cross-sectional study, we included 100 diabetic patients; blood is taken for measurement of both magnesium and HbA1c levels. Patients with risk factors of magnesium deficiency were not included. Of the total 100 patients recruited in our study, majority had diabetes for 8.0 years duration. The mean age of the patients was 53.97 ± 10.65 years, most of them were on oral hypoglycaemic agents (84.9%) followed by combination of oral hypoglycaemic agents and insulin (10.5%), and a small percentage were on insulin alone (4.7%). The mean of serum magnesium and HbA1c levels was 1.88 ± 0.25 mg/dL and 8.38% ± 1.53%, respectively. The majority of the patien...Continue Reading

Biomarkers for Type 2 Diabetes

Biomarkers can help understand chronic diseases and assist in risk prediction for prevention and early detection of diseases. Here is the latest research on biomarkers in type 2 diabetes, a disease in which the body is unable to produce or properly use insulin.
