Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with alterations in the metabolism of zinc (Zn) and magnesium (Mg). The aim of the present study was to estimate the serum levels of these trace elements in patients with type 2 diabetes in relation to their glycemic status. Eighty seven type 2 diabetics & 30 apparently healthy sex and age matched control subjects were selected for the study. S-Zn and S-Mg levels were significantly low in type 2 diabetes patients. The serum levels of glucose were negatively correlated with serum levels of Zn and Mg of diabetic subjects. The low serum levels of Zn and Mg in diabetics compared to control subjects may be due to the poor glycemic control. Our study shows S-Zn & S-Mg levels are inversely related to glycemic status (HbA1C) of type 2 diabetics.
