| Introduction & Objective: Diabetes mellitus is the most common endocrine disorder of childhood which is caused by relative or absolute deficiency of insulin. Diabetes can cause alteration in some elements of the body such as magnesium. This study was conducted for further evaluation of this matter and also to find out any relationship between level of serum magnesium and duration of diabetes.
Materials & Methods: In this study blood sample (2 ml) was taken from 27 diabetic and 27 healthy children. Blood samples were freezed till the end of sample collecting when they were checked for the level of magnesium.
Results: Results of this study show that the level of magnesium in serum of diabetic children is lower than that in the healthy ones, but this difference is not statistically significant. In addition, no correlation was found between the duration of diabetes and the level of serum magnesium.
Conclusion. Further study is needed to evaluate this matter in details by measuring the intracellular magnesium for example in blood cells by more sophisticated experiments. |
