Abstract
:
This is a cross-sectional study on 37 randomly selected patients with Diabetes mellitus. Serum magnesium, calcium, potassium, and HbA1c, together with 24 hour urine collection for magnesium (MG) were obtained from these patients. Fifteen healthy non-diabetic subjects served as control. The mean serum Mg in this diabetic cohort was 0.74 mmol/L, compared to 0.91 mmol/L of the non-diabetic control subjects (P value < 0.001). Nine patients (24%) from the diabetic cohort were significantly hypomagnesemic range. The low mean serum Mg was associated with poor glycemic control; mean HbA1c was 11.2%. The mean 24 h urinary Mg in this diabetic cohort was 4.15 mmol which is relatively high for the level of hypomagnesemia present suggesting increased urinary Mg excretion as the cause for such hypomagnesemia. These patients had no symptoms attributable to hypomagnesemia, and they had no associated abnormalities in serum potassium and calcium. Mean serum potassium was 4.49 mmol/L & mean serum calcium of 2.42 mmol/L (<0.70 mmol/L) while none of the controls had serum Mg outside the normal range. Our study shows high prevalence of asymptomatic hypomagnesemia with increased urinary Mg excretion in a cohort of poorly controlled diabetics. This was not associated with abnormalities in serum potassium or calcium as it is the case in other causes of hypomagnesemia
