INTRODUCTION: Diabetes is the most common serious metabolic disease. The hallmark of Diabetes is elevated

blood glucose concentration, just one of many biochemical & physiological alterations that occur in the disease. In

Diabetics there is a association between serum magnesium levels & cellular glucose disposal independent of insulin secretion. DIRECT etion. This

change in glucose disposal is found to be associated with INCREASED SENSITIVITY of the tissues to insulin in the presence of sufficient

magnesium levels. Magnesium de􀃶ciency has been found to be related with DIABETIC MICROVASCULAR DISEASE. Hypomagnesaemia

has been reported to occur in 25-38% patients with T2DM without metabolic control. Hence the present study is conducted to 􀃶nd any

1 correlation with DURATION of T2DM & Serum Magnesium
