Comparison of total plasma magnesium concentration between individuals with T1DM and controls. Comparison of total plasma magnesium concentration between individual with T1DM and controls in ( A ) both sexes, ( B ) males, and ( C ) females. ( D ) Comparison of total plasma magnesium concentration between males and females with T1DM. Total plasma magnesium concentrations were lower in subjects with T1DM compared with controls when examining both sexes together and in both males and females when examined separately ( p < 0.0001, p = 0.0076, and p < 0.0001, respectively). Total plasma magnesium concentration was lower in females with T1DM compared with males with T1DM ( p = 0.0329). Statistical significance is indicated with * where p <0.05, ** where p <0.01, and *** where p <0.001. A summary of this data was published before but no detailed analysis was previously carried out. ⁹
