Abstract

High glucose levels are a hallmark of a group of illnesses known as diabetes mellitus type 2. Electrolyte abnormalities are frequently seen in people with type 2 chronic diabetes. These individuals often have depleted levels of potassium, magnesium, and phosphate. The purpose of this study was to look at the lipid and electrolyte abnormalities in patients with chronic type 2 diabetes mellitus who were receiving care at the Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences and Hospital Adilabad. Methods: The Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences [RIMS], Adilabad's Department of General Medicine and Biochemistry was where this study was carried out. Male and female participants with type 2 chronic diabetes mellitus were included in the study. Chronic diabetics were individuals who had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus and had been taking medication for five years or more; they were referred to as Group I. In Group II, controls of similar age and sex were drawn from the general community. Fasting blood samples will be taken in a Vacutainer 10ml, and a completely automatic chemical analyzer called the "Beckman Coulter Au 400" will estimate the serum fasting blood sugar, serum electrolytes, and lipid profile. Statistical software was used to record and evaluate the data. Results: There were two groups made up of 100 patients in total for the trial. Diabetes Group I and Group II (controls). When the serum fasting blood glucose levels were examined, group I had mean values of 174.5 25.6 mg/dl, and group II had mean values of 96.5 20.5 mg/dl; both groups had significant p values. The triglyceride levels were significantly different between groups I and II when compared to controls, with the group I's mean values being 201.55 35.8 mg/dl and group II's being 190.5 30.12 mg/dl. As opposed to group II, group I (diabetes) had higher potassium levels, and the p values were shown to be significant. Conclusion: Patients with type 2 diabetes have an improper lipid and electrolyte balance, it may be said. Enzymatic activity, hormone production, and antioxidant levels can all be affected by altered mineral metabolism. As a result, monitoring these individuals every three months will aid in reducing the development of long-term diabetes-related problems
