Abstract

A multi-factorial illness, diabetes mellitus has a significant impact on many bodily functions. Due to the direct impact of hyperglycemia on these electrolytes in diabetic patients, electrolyte imbalance is a significant issue. Material and Methods: It was a prospective study carried out at the Rama Medical College Hospital and Research Centre in Mandhana, Kanpur, in the biochemistry department. In this study, 50 patients with known diabetes and 50 healthy controls were both participants. Patients with known cases of diabetes mellitus, ranging in age from 35 to 60, were included in this study. Results: With a p value of 0.01, the mean FBS level in type 2 diabetics (156.52 ± 29.26mg/dl) was substantially greater than that in healthy controls (92.21±14.65mg/dl). Similar to this, type 2 diabetics' serum potassium levels (4.27± 1.72mmol/L) were considerably higher than those of the healthy control group (4.08 ±1.25mmol/L) (p=0.01). Additionally, a p value of 0.05 was used to determine statistical significance for the mean difference in serum chloride levels between type 2 diabetic patients (108.73± 12.24) and healthy controls (105.54± 11.2). On the other hand, type 2 diabetics' mean blood sodium levels, which have a p value of 0.001, are considerably lower than healthy controls' (141.21 ±16.32mmol/L) (138.28 ±15.25mmol/L). Conclusion: The effects of diabetes mellitus on key cellular processes and events are quite diverse. Electrolyte imbalance is a serious issue for diabetes individuals because it affects how cells are distributed throughout cellular compartments
