Abstract :
Background: Magnesium acts as a co–factor in numerous enzymatic reactions. Deficiency of magnesium disturbs carbohydrate metabolism, which leads to hyperglycemia The present study was carried out to evaluate serum magnesium levels in diabetic retinopathy and correlate it with severity of disease. Method: The present study was carried out in 200 subjects aged 30 to 80 years consisting of 50 healthy non–diabetic subjects (Control) and 150 patients with diabetic retinopathy (Cases). Biochemical analysis of serum magnesium, fasting blood glucose and lipid profile was carried out and correlated with the clinical presentation of the cases. Result: Serum magnesium levels in diabetic retinopathy patients were significantly lower in diabetic retinopathy as compared to controls. The levels of magnesium were significantly lower in progressive retinopathy as compared to non–progressive retinopathy. Conclusion: Diabetic retinopathy is associated with magnesium deficiency which may benefit from magnesium supplementation.
