RISK FACTORS OF OSTEOPOROSIS IN TYPE II DIABETIC POPULATION IN VIDARBHA, MAHARASHTRA

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic diseases which if not controlled can cause life threatening
complications.Our objectives were to evaluate Fasting (FBG) and Post meal blood sugar (PMBS),
Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), Vitamin D, Calcium and Magnesium levels in the type II diabetics.Study
design was case control study. Total sample size was 60, 30 study group with known history of type II DM
and 30 age, sex matched healthy controls included in the study.Mean value for Magnesium, Calcium and
Vitamin D level in the study group were 1.06 ± 0.25, 7.91 ± 0.76, 15.56 ± 2.01respectively, which were
significantly lower in the cases as compared to the controls (p<0.0001). HbA1c has negative correlation
with Magnesium and Vitamin D.Early detection of serum Magnesium, Calcium and Vitamin D level
abnormalities can minimize the risk for development of osteoporosis in the type II diabetics.
