    Abstract

    The impact of HIV on glucose and magnesium levels in HIV-affected patients in the early stages of the disease have received less attention. Because to the lack of research into the potential negative effects of these factors, we aimed to analyze the sex and age differences in the Random Blood Glucose (RBS) and magnesium levels of patients with HIV disease. Methods and components: Fifty human volunteers without HIV were included as a comparison group. Fifty people living with HIV who were all undergoing treatment made up the HIV group. The HIV infection was identified using criteria established by the National AIDS control program. The HIV diagnosis for the study group was performed by medical department consultants. Results: Finding no significant difference in age characteristics between HIV and control group patients but finding a significant difference in RBS and magnesium mean values. When we compared HIV patients to healthy controls, we observed that the HIV patients' RBS levels were almost 40% higher. Conclusion: Since magnesium insufficiency was found to promote hyperglycemia in HIV patients, it may be wise to routinely monitor magnesium levels in this population. As for the link between magnesium and HIV, additional study is required to fully grasp it.
