Summary

Hypomagnesemia, or low magnesium levels, is common in diabetes mellitus (DM). Supplementing magnesium may improve glucose control and reduce complications in patients with DM.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Metabolic Disorders
  • Nutritional Science

Background:

  • Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with a higher incidence of magnesium deficiency.
  • Hypomagnesemia may contribute to various DM complications, including retinopathy and hypertension.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the link between diabetes mellitus and hypomagnesemia.
  • To review methods for assessing magnesium status.
  • To discuss magnesium repletion benefits in diabetic patients.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive MEDLINE literature search was performed using keywords 'magnesium' and 'diabetes'.
  • Key clinical trials and published case reports were critically reviewed.

Main Results:

  • Hypomagnesemia is frequently observed in patients with DM and may influence glucose disposition and hypertension.
  • Magnesium supplementation shows potential for improving glucose control.
  • A correlation exists between hypomagnesemia and diabetic complications, though supplementation effects on retinopathy are unevaluated.

Conclusions:

  • A significant association between hypomagnesemia and hyperglycemia, alongside DM complications, is suggested.
  • The American Diabetes Association recommends magnesium supplementation for diabetic patients with documented hypomagnesemia.
