Estimation of blood minerals in people overusing sugar and in diabetic groups

Abstract

Background: Diabetes type 2 (DM-2) is one of the most prevalent forms of the disease, afflicting nearly 90% of the diabetic population in the USA, that is growing gradually without certain and perceptible symptoms. The current study mainly attempts to estimate some blood minerals in people eating too much sugar and in diabetic groups when compared with control groups (healthy people). Methods: The present study was conducted over the course of 19^th November to 19^th December 2019 in teaching Azadi Hospital and Technical College / Kirkuk. Sixty blood samples were taken from individuals between ages of 20-to 50 years, which were collected from groups that eat too much sugar, the diabetic group, and the control group based on the history, clinical examination, and questionnaire form. 3 mL of fasting venous blood samples without a tourniquet were drawn from each person eating too much sugar group, the diabetic group, and the control group. Serum glucose, calcium, and magnesium were determined by the enzymatic method by using a spectrophotometer. Results: The results of the study demonstrated an increase in fasting blood sugar concentration (104.14mg/dl) in the eating too much sugars group and (197mg/dL) in the diabetic group compared to the control group (p0.05) Conclusion: The study indicates that there is a substantially low level of serum magnesium and calcium in people consuming too much sugars group and diabetic group which may be an essential factor in the early initiation of the disease in prone and vulnerable people.
