Impact of Body Mass Index on Hypomagnesemia and Hypocalcemia in Type 2 Diabetic Patients

There are limited data supporting the relationship between low levels of certain minerals with abnormal glucose metabolism in humans, this does not clearly distinguish between associations of insulin resistance and type-2 diabetes mellitus with macrominerals. A hospital based- case control study was...

Description
Summary:There are limited data supporting the relationship between low levels of certain minerals with abnormal glucose metabolism in humans, this does not clearly distinguish between associations of insulin resistance and type-2 diabetes mellitus with macrominerals. A hospital based- case control study was conducted in Najran University Hospital (Najran, Saudi Arabia). The study aimed to reveal the possible impact of BMI on serum calcium and magnesium levels in type 2 diabetic patients.Patients' sera were used to measure the concentrations of sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium. BMI was subsequently calculated as weight (kg) per height (m2).Pearson correlation coefficient showed a high significant negative correlation for serum magnesium with FBS, BMI, HbA1c in diabetic patients (r = -0.582, p
