Introduction: Patients with type 2 diabetes have been shown to have an elevated prevalence of hypo- calcemia/ hypomagnesemia. 

Aim: To evaluate the correlation of serum calcium and magnesium with controlled and uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus. 

Subjects and methods: This case-control study was conducted on 160 adult type 2 diabetic patients (males and females) and 80 matched normal people. Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) were measured in all subjects.

Results: Patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes have higher risk of being hypocalcemia and/ or hypomagnesemia. 

Conclusion: Monitoring Ca and Mg levels and managing diabetes effectively are crucial to prevent complications associated with Ca and Mg imbalances.
