      Mellitus Patients in Nigeria.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Magnesium (Mg) is the 4(th) most common mineral and the 2(nd) most 
      abundant intracellular cation in the body. It plays major roles in various 
      physiological activities and has been implicated in many disease states. AIM: The 
      aim of this study was to study the patterns and correlates of serum Mg in cohorts 
      of type 2 diabetic patients in Nigeria. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: One hundred and 
      twenty-five patients comprising 63 with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) alone and 
      62 with diabetes and hypertension (HT) were compared with fifty controls matched 
      for sex and age. Basic data, HbA1c, and fasting blood glucose (FBG) were obtained 
      while serum Mg was measured by colorimeter. Relationship between serum Mg and 
      glucose control was considered while serum Mg < 1.6 mg/dl was considered as 
      hypomagnesemia. RESULTS: The mean serum Mg of all patients was 2.06 +/- 0.49 mg/dl, 
      not statistically different from controls at 2.22 +/- 0.48 mg/dl. About (1/4) (23.2%) 
      of the patients had hypomagnesemia which was significantly more than 12% of 
      controls. Although the patients with diabetes and HT were older and more of 
      females than those with DM alone, the mean serum Mg was comparable (2.03 +/- 0.49 
      vs. 2.09 + 0.50 mg/dl). Twenty-seven percent (27%) of patients who had DM alone 
      was more than 19.3% with HT and diabetes combined. Whereas the FBG was comparable 
      in patients with hypomagnesemia and normal serum Mg, HbA1c was significantly 
      higher in the hypomagnesemia group (8.39 +/- 0.98 vs. 6.75 +/- 1.22%, P = 0.021). 
      CONCLUSION: Hypomagnesemia is common in T2DM outpatients occurring approximately 
      one in four patients. It is associated with poor long-term control.
