Abstract

Aim: To study the effect of magnesium supplementation on glycemic control in diabetic patients.

Measured data was analyzed statistically. Observations & Result: Mean Baseline value for fasting blood glucose was 144.32±0.94 and after treatment values at 16 weeks 128.93±0.75 was observed in Group I patients. In Group II; fasting blood glucose was 145.20±1.12 and after treatment values at 16 weeks 134.18±0.94.
