Abstract
According to the International Diabetes Federation’s (IDF) Sixth Diabetes Atlas, there were more than twice as many instances of diabetes in India in 2013 as there were in 2000, with an estimated 65.1 million cases. The fact that Indians have T2DM at an earlier age than western cultures is quite concerning. Diabetes also develops in along with the little weight increase. Patients with diabetes frequently lack magnesium; 25–39% of diabetics have low blood magnesium levels. There is limited research on estimation magnesium levels in diabetic individuals with poor glycaemic control, and its impact on microvascular complications. Hence, we performed this study to correlated the serum magnesium levels with HbA1c and the microvascular complications associated with type II diabetes mellitus.
