ABSTRACT Introduction Diabetes mellitus is a common metabolic disorder. Prevalence of diabetes is increasing globally and it is one of the major health problems of the 21st century. The disturbance in serum magnesium (SMg) has been reported among patients with type II diabetes mellitus. Hypomagnesemia has negative impact on glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity in patients with type II diabetes mellitus. Aim This study was undertaken to know the prevalence of hypomagnesemia in patients with type II diabetes mellitus and its relation with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). The study was conducted on 200 patients with type II diabetes and 100 healthy controls at RajaRajeswari Medical College & Hospital, Bengaluru. Results Out of 200 diabetic patients, 115 (57%) had hypomagnesemia. We observed mean SMg (1.7 mg) significantly low in diabetic patients compared with controls (2.1 mg). We also found HbA1c was high (9%) in hypomagnesemia patients. We found that diabetic hypomagnesemic patients had high mean fasting blood glucose (242.6 mg%) and postprandial blood sugar (313 mg%) than controls.

Magnesium is most important and vital element of body. It needs to be supplemented adequately. It plays a vital role in insulin secretion, insulin binding and homeostasis. When Serum Magnesium is adequate, the glycemic control is better and HbA1c values will fall, thus proving that serum magnesium plays a major role in glycemic control. It is now established that diabetes can by itself induce hypomagnesemia and hypomagnesemia can in turn induce onset or worsen diabetes mellitus.: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 48 diagnosed cases of type II diabetes mellitus. This study was planned to study if any correlation exists between the level of Serum Magnesium and HbA1C in diagnosed Type II diabetics.: The correlation between the two parameters was not found to be statistically significant.: Owing to COVID-19 restrictions history regarding the duration of disease, the dietary history of the participants could not be obtained : Serum magnesium does not bear a constant relationship with the diabetic control according to the findings of the current study and detailed studies including multi-parametric analysis along with duration of diabetes is required.

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<7), 8 out of the 10 subjects with hypomagnesaemia again had, sensory neural type of hearing loss. Conclusion: The results of this cross-sectional study proved that hypomagnesaemia results in the impairment of hearing, amidst the type II diabetic population, especially the poorly controlled diabetics are more vulnerable to develop hypomagnesaemia and its associated deafness. Thus periodic assessment of auditory status and serum magnesium levels is also required in all type II DM cases, as an early measure to prevent diabetes and hypo magnesia induced deafness.

Background: Diabetes increases the morbidity and mortality due to its propensity to develop micro and macrovascular complications. Recently the role of haemostatic factors, particularly fibrinogen, in atherosclerosis and its complications has invited considerable attention. The present study was conducted to study plasma fibrinogen levels in type II diabetes mellitus patients with microvascular complications.Methods: One hundred patients aged 18years to 60years with type 2 diabetes mellitus with microvascular complications were included in the study. HBA1c, plasma fibrinogen, urine routine examination, fundoscopy, monofilament testing, FBS, PPBS were done. Descriptive statistics was used to analyse data.Results: Out of 100 diabetes patients with microvascular complication studies, 88 patients were found to have hyperfibrinogenaemia. Out of 100 patients 67 patients had HbA1c of more than 8%, and all of them had elevated fibrinogen levels (p <0.0001). The prevalence of hyperfibrinogenemia was higher in patients with diabetic retinopathy (90%), when compared to those without diabetic retinopathy (83.33%) although it was statistically not significant (p=0.266).Conclusions: Hyperfibrinogenemia among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with microvascular complications was high. Glycaemic control has a significant impact on the fibrinogen levels. Longer the duration of diabetes, there was a higher prevalence of hyperfibrinogenemia.
