Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a heterogenous disease characterized by an absolute or relative deficiency of insulin as well as insulin resistance. Numerous authors have evaluated mineral levels and status in diabetic subjects yet often inconsistent and contradictory results have been presented. Some trace elements act as antioxidants and prevent membrane peroxidation. Others act directly on glucose metabolism. Magnesium has an important role as cofactor in the phosphorylation of glucose and in many other enzymatic reactions.
