MICRONUTRIENT DEFICIENCY (MAGNESIUM) AND ITS RELATION TO THE CAUSATION OF DIABETES MELLITIS - A CASE CONTROL STUDY ON DIABETIC PATIENTS OF BAHAWAL VICTORIA HOSPITAL, BAHAWALPUR, PAKISTAN

Hyperglycemia causes a multi-factor disorder known as diabetes. Poor control of the diabetes and hypomagnesaemia are critically associated as confusions are caused about Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Insulin receptor is affected by the key component of Magnesium. In the patients of diabetes, the factor of hypomagnesaemia is involved in resistance of the insulin through the interference of the insulin receptors integration. An inactive insulin receptor phosphorylation is responsible for this act; therefore, the whole process can be viewed as a central system through which hypomagnesaemia is added to the resistance of insulin in the cells. Objectives: This research was aimed at the probe that if low levels of the magnesium in the patients of diabetes in comparison of those patients never diagnosed with diabetes. Settings: Research was held at Quaid-e-Azam Medical College, Bahawalpur (Department of Biochemistry) Material & Method: Source of the collected data was BVH, Bahawalpur. Design of the research was observational and descriptive. Research was completed in the period of six months. Conclusion: It is concluded that there is an association of hypomagnesaemia with Type I & II DM as diabetes cases reflect clear decreased magnesium levels. Its consequences in severity of disorders can be reduced in a drastic way through the diets of magnesium fortified administrated to diabetes cases.
