Abstract:
Hotelling's T2 and stepwise regression analyses were used to study the results of metabolic balance test of magnesium (Mg) in 41 diabetic patients (IDDM 11, NIDDM 30). Negative metabolic balance of Mg was noted and serum Mg was lower in diabetics before treatment (2.1 +0.40 mg/dl, M+SD) than that of controls (2.6+0.53 mg/dl). Hypomagne-semia found mainly in cases with long-term diabetes mellitus was related to the duration of disease, net intestinal absorption rate of Mg and the incidence of diabetic retinopathy. It is suggested that hypomagnesemia might be responsible for the development of diabetic retinopathy.
