Nineteen non-insulin-dependent diabetic(NIDD) and healthy control women were investigated to study the relationship between glycemic control and the level of calcium, zinc, and magnesium in the serum and urine. Urinary calcium, zinc and magnesium levels in the NIDD women were significantly higher(p＜0.01) than those of the control women. There were no difference in serum magnesium and zinc levels between the two groups, but serum calcium level was lower(p＜0.0l) in the NIDD women compared to that of the control group. In the NIDD women, serum magnesium was negatively related to fasting blood glucose(r=-0.533 ; p＜0.05), urinary glucose(r=-0.767 ; p＜0.001), urinary protein(r=-0.476 ; p＜0.05), and urine volume(r=-0.571 ; p＜0.05). The levels of zinc in both serum(r=0.515, p＜0.05) and urine(r=0.623 ; p＜0.01) were related to urinary protein but only urinary zinc level(r=0.570 ; p＜0.01) was related to serum albumin. Urinary magnesium, not calcium was correlated with the urinary glucose(r=0.563 ; p＜0.05) and urinary protein(r=0.568 ; p＜0.05). Fasting blood glucose was positively correlated with duration of diabetes, as well as dietary fat and calorie intake. The results of this study suggest that NIDD alters all magnesium, zinc, and calcium utilization, particularly magnesium is involved in glycemic control in this condition.
