Investigation of the serum level of copper, zinc, magnesium and manganese in type-2 diabetes mellitus and their possible association with lipid profile was carried out. The comparative study included 100 type-2 diabetic patients in Gr-II and 100 non-diabetic as control in (Gr-I). Results indicated that there is a significant lower level (p < .001) of serum Zn, Cu, Mg and Mn in diabetic patients compared with the control group, showing p value < .001. In type-2 DM patients (Gr-II) there were significant correlations between serum Zn and TAG (r = 0.209) and between Zn and HDL-C level (r = .199) showing p value <.05. Non significant relationships were found in between Zn and lipid profile (TAG, Cholesterol, HDL-C and LDL-C) of control (Gr-I) group. Significant correlation was found between serum magnesium and TAG of control (Gr-I) where p < .01 and non significant correlations were found in serum Mg and total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C of both type-2 diabetic (Gr-II) and control (Gr-I). Significant correlations were also found in between serum of Cu and Mn and TAG of control (Gr-I) where p < .05 and non significant correlations were found in other component of lipid profile of both cases (Gr-II) and control (Gr-I).Journal of Bangladesh Academy of Sciences, Vol. 40, No. 1, 79-85, 2016

Background: Nowadays, there is an accumulated data about the relation between hypomagnesemia (low Serum Mg level < 0.7 mmol/l) and diabetes. Objective: In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence of hypomagnesemia in a carefully diagnosed diabetes patients and to show how some factors could contribute to the prevalence of low serum Mg level among the population under study. Methods: In short, 62 patients of both type 1 and 2, who attended AL-Sadir medical city/ diabetes and endocrinology centre during the period of the study were included in the study. A detailed history was taken and participants were informed verbally about the procedure of this study. Serum magnesium and creatinine were measured using standardized methods. Results: The overall prevalence of the hypomagnesemia, among diabetic population involved in this study, was 29.03 % and it was nearly similar in male (29.41 %) and female (28.57 %). The means(SD) of serum Mg level were similar in type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients. Other difference in prevalence among other characteristics has been reported. Within all participants, gender (r = -0.02), fasting blood glucose (r = -0.514) and metformin use (r = -0.014) were negatively correlated with serum Mg level, in contrast to other variables, which were positively correlated. While among type 1 DM, age (r= 0.193), serum creatinine (r= 0.031) and insulin use (r= 0.217) were positively correlated with serum Mg level. In contrast, others were negatively correlated. In type 2 DM, age (r = -0.283) and fasting blood glucose (r = -0.496) were negatively correlated with serum Mg level. On the other hand, other variables were positively correlated with serum Mg level. Conclusion: Hypomagnesemia prevalence was detected in nearly one-third of the diabetic population, which is quite high prevalence. Some factors have shown to play an essential role in this prevalence. A large study is warranted to address this issue.

Background : Magnesium (Mg++) deficiency is associated with poor glycemic control and Mg++ supplementation lowers blood sugar, improves insulin sensitivity and delays diabetic complications such as diabetic nephropathy, diabetic neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy. Objective : This study was designed to know the status of serum Mg++ in type 2 diabetic subjects with microalbuminuria and normoalbuminuria.Methodology : This study was conducted at the Department of Laboratory Medicine (Clinical Pathology) in collaboration with BIRDEM General Hospital, Dhaka. In this study, serum magnesium level and urine microalbumin level of 120 newly detected type 2 diabetic patients were measured. Both levels were measured by biochemical auto analyzer (Siemens Dimension RL Max).Result : The mean microalbumin level was found 22.9±3.1 mg/L with range from 2-105 mg/L and the mean magnesium level was found 1.9±0.3 mg/dl with range from 1.5-2.4 mg/dl. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was -0.353 between serum magnesium level and urine microalbumin which was statistically significant (p value < 0.05). Therefore, there was a linear negative correlation between serum magnesium level and urine microalbumin.Conclusion : The present study revealed negative correlation between serum magnesium level and urine microalbumin.Northern International Medical College Journal Vol.9(2) Jan 2018: 291-294
