Abstract:- The main research focus of this project involved investigating the presence of Hypomagnesemia, if any, among non-hospitalised patients with fasting Hyperglycemia and the relationship between Serum Mg levels and Fasting Glucose levels in males as well as females. The research methodology used in the study involved the analysis of serum Magnesium levels in non-hospitalised outpatients with suspected Pre-diabetes/Impaired fasting glucose or Type 2 Diabetes by analysing their blood samples using the Olympus AU480® Chemistry Analyzer. The t-test was used for the statistical analysis of the data obtained using statistical software from the internet. The population size used in the study has been taken as n=60 and includes all people who have returned to the outpatient clinic for a repeat blood glucose analysis. The result and conclusion of this study is that there is a significant inverse relation between the levels of Magnesium and Glucose in a person’s body: In all (n=60) subjects, r = -0.890, P <0.0001 and t = -14.87 overall. In the male (n=30) population, r = -0.861. The P <0.0001 , with a t value of -8.96. In the female (n=30) population, r = -0.919, P <0.0001, and t = -12.33. The overall Incidence of Hypomagnesemia in patients with Hyperglycemia in this population of n=60 was found to be 31.67%. It is imperative to monitor suspected Pre-Diabetic/Diabetic patients for Serum Magnesium.
