Magnesium has received considerable attention for its potential role in improving insulin sensitivity and preventing diabetes and its cardiovascular complications. Hypomagnesaemia is linked to poor control of type 2 diabetes mellitus, and depletion of serum magnesium occurs exponentially with duration of disease. The aim of this study was to measure serum magnesium level and the correlation of magnesium level with HbA1c in type 2 diabetes mellitus.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this cross\u2010sectional study, we included 100 diabetic patients; blood is taken for measurement of both magnesium and HbA1c levels.

The mean age of the patients was 53.97\u00a0\u00b1\u00a010.65\u00a0years, most of them were on oral hypoglycaemic agents (84.9%) followed by combination of oral hypoglycaemic agents and insulin (10.5%), and a small percentage were on insulin alone (4.7%). The mean of serum magnesium and HbA1c levels was 1.88\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.25\u00a0mg\/dL and 8.38%\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.53%, respectively. The majority of the patients had a normal level of magnesium (95.0%); however, most of them had uncontrolled blood glucose (82.0%). The study showed that the serum magnesium level and HbA1c are not significantly correlated (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a00.462).\n
