This study was undertaken with the aim to determine Serum zinc and magnesium levels in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus without it's associated complications and Type 2 Diabetes mellitus patients with its various macro and micro vascular complications namely Coronary atherosclerosis, Peripheral vascular disease and retinopathy, nephropathy respectively. The study was conducted at diabetology out-patient department, Sree Balaji Medical college & Hospital, Chennai on total of 120 subjects of age group 40-70 years; of whom 20 were apparently healthy and served as control. Between control groups and retinopathy, a microvascular consequence of Type 2 Diabetes mellitus, there is no statistically significant reduction in serum magnesium. Overall, diabetic patients without comorbidities and microvascular consequences of Type 2 Diabetes mellitus, such as retinopathy and nephropathy, reveal a negative connection between serum magnesium and HbA1c. In diabetes patients without problems and microvascular consequences, such as nephropathy, serum zinc and HbA1c have a negative connection.
