Higher magnesium levels are associated with better glycaemic control and diabetes remission post-bariatric surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Low Magnesium (Mg) dietary intake has been associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Furthermore, in patients with T2DM, hypomagnesemia is associated with worst glycaemic control. Bariatric surgery (BS) remains the most effective treatment in severe obesity and also provides resolution/improvement of T2DM. Our aim is to evaluate the association between Mg supplementation post-BS and Mg serum levels with diabetes status after BS.

Methods

We performed an observational study on patients with obesity and T2DM who underwent BS. Data was assessed pre-BS and one-year post-BS.

Results

We included a total of 403 patients with T2DM. At baseline, 43.4% of the patients had Mg deficiency. Pre-BS, patients with Mg deficiency had poorer glycaemic
