Background: Recently epidemiological studies have shown that type 2 diabetes mellitus is great a risk factor for cardiovascular mortality. Electrolyte abnormalities are commonly encountered in chronic diabetes mellitus type 2 patients.
Aim: The aim of this study was to estimate serum electrolyte levels and HbA1C levels among Sudanese diabetic patients with macrovascular complications in Khartoum state, Sudan.
Materials and methods: in this case control hospital based study conducted in, Khartoum state. Hundred subjects were involved, fifty were type 2 diabetes patients and fifty healthy subjects control group sex and age matched. Serum Na and K levels estimated by automated biochemistry analyzer (Easylyte electrolyte) and HbA1C by automated biochemistry analyzer.
