Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic diseases which if not controlled can cause life threatening complications. Aim: To study serum Lipid Profile and Magnesium level in the hypoglycemic Type II Diabetic subjects. Methodology: Fasting blood glucose (FBG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), triglyceride (TG) and Magnesium (Mg) levels were evaluated. Total sample size was 60, which was divided into 30 study group with type II DM having hypoglycemia (blood glucose level <70 mg/dl) who attended the Medicine OPD of AVBRH Hospital and 30 age, sex matched healthy controls included in the study. Results: TC, TG and LDL level were significantly higher in the cases as compared to controls (p<0.0001). Mean value for HbA1c in the study group was 6.94? 0.47, which was significantly higher in the cases as compared to the controls (p<0.0001). Mean value for Magnesium level in the study group was 1.06 ? 0.25, which was significantly lower in the cases as compared to the controls (p<0.0001). HbA1c has significant negative correlation with HDL (p<0.01) and also negative correlation with magnesium. Conclusion: Early detection of serum magnesium and lipid profile abnormalities can minimize the risk for development of diabetic complications in the hypoglycemic type II diabetic patients.
