Higher Levels of Serum Ionic Calcium are Associated with Macular Edema in Patients with Diabetic Retinopathy

Ankita et al.

Summary: This study found that increased levels of serum ionic calcium and decreased levels of serum magnesium are associated with an increase in macular thickness and EZ disruption in diabetic macular edema (DME).

Reduced Serum Magnesium Levels Are Associated with the Occurrence of Retinopathy in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: a Retrospective Study

Baodi Xing et al.

Summary: The study revealed a significant negative correlation between serum magnesium levels and diabetic retinopathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Lower levels of serum Mg2+ were associated with an increased risk of developing DR. Serum Mg2+ level could serve as a potential clinical indicator for identifying DR in T2DM patients.

Different Sources of Dietary Magnesium Supplementation Reduces Oxidative Stress by Regulation Nrf2 and NF-κB Signaling Pathways in High-Fat Diet Rats

Cemal Orhan et al.

Summary: The study compared the effects of different forms of magnesium on retinal function in high-fat diet rats, showing that MgPic was most effective in reducing retinal MDA levels and increasing antioxidant enzyme activity. Magnesium supplementation significantly decreased inflammatory factor expression levels in HFD rats, while also increasing the antioxidant Nrf2 levels.

Prevalence and Treatment of Diabetes in China, 2013-2018

Limin Wang et al.

Summary: Based on national data collected in China from 2013 to 2018, the prevalence of diabetes increased, while awareness, treatment, and control of diabetes did not significantly improve. Risk factors such as low physical activity and high intake of red meat, overweight, and obesity also increased during this period.

Serum Magnesium Is Inversely Associated With Heart Failure, Atrial Fibrillation, and Microvascular Complications in Type 2 Diabetes

Lynette J. Oost et al.

Summary: The study found that serum magnesium (Mg2+) concentration is inversely associated with the development of heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) as well as the occurrence of chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetic retinopathy, and diabetic foot complications in type 2 diabetes patients. Additionally, glycemic control, as measured by hemoglobin A(1c) [HbA(1c)], partially mediated the association between serum Mg2+ and HF and microvascular complications.
