Abstract

  The current study is a cross-sectional study aimed at assessing calcium level in patients with type 2 diabetes in Khartoum State, conducted between January and March 2017. The sample size is 60, including both males and females, and calcium and glucose were analyzed using the spectrophotometer. The results showed a decrease in blood calcium levels for diabetics (probability value 0.000) we found that there was an inverse relationship between calcium level and (age and period of diabetes) value (0.000, 0.026) and its values (-0.437, -0.287) respectively the summary of this study that it is affected by age and period of diabetes.

Keywords: Calcium; Type 2 Diabetes; Glucose
