AB  - OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of Type 2 
      diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in patients with nephropathy (i.e. Chronic Kidney 
      Disease Stage 1 to 3) and to compare the mean magnesium levels in diabetic 
      nephropathic patients and non-diabetic nephropathic patients. METHODS: This 
      cross-sectional study was conducted in department of Medicine, Mayo Hospital 
      Lahore from August 2014 to February 2015. Using non-probability purposive 
      sampling 200 nephropathic (Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 1 to 3) patients were 
      selected. Patients were assessed for T2DM and divided in two groups on the basis 
      of presence or absence of DM. Magnesium levels were recorded in both groups. 
      Percentages, mean, standard deviation and unpaired t-test was used to assess the 
      data. SPSS was used for analysis of information. RESULTS: Total number of cases 
      were 200, 43.5% (n=87) out of them were between 25-50 years of age while 56.5% 
      (n=113) patients were between 51-70 years. The Mean+SD was calculated to be 
      51.38+11.51 years. The male patients were 48.5 %(n=109) while 51.5 %(n=91) were 
      females. The frequency of DM in patients with nephropathy was 25.5% (n=51). 
      Comparison of mean magnesium levels in nephropathic patients with and without 
      diabetes was done. The results showed nephropathic patients having diabetes had 
      1.54+0.301 mg/dL magnesium levels while cases without diabetes had 1.92+0.313 
      mg/dL levels of magnesium, p value was calculated as 0.001 showing a significant 
      difference between the two groups. CONCLUSION: The frequency of diabetes mellitus 
      is higher among patients with nephropathy while on comparison of mean magnesium 
      levels, nephropathic patients with diabetes had significant lower levels of 
      magnesium as compared to without diabetes.
