Correlation of Serum Electrolyte Imbalances With Diabetic Duration and Medication Use: A Cross-Sectional Comparative Study.

Background: Certain anti-diabetic medications may exacerbate electrolyte imbalances, potentially complicating glycemic control in diabetic patients. The present study aimed to correlate the serum electrolyte imbalances such as Na, K, Ca, Cl, and Mg with the duration of disease, glycemic control, and medication regimens.

Method: In this cross-sectional study, 31 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and 30 healthy controls, with mean ages of 52.
