Figure 1 Correlation between serum total magnesium and serum ionic magnesium across all participants. The correlation was highly significant (p < 0.001).

Figure 2 Correlation between serum total magnesium and serum ionic magnesium across (A) non-indigenous; (B) indigenous; (C) non-diabetic and (D) diabetic participants. In every sub-group, the correlation was highly significant (p < 0.001).

Figure 3 Correlation between serum total magnesium and serum ionic calcium/serum ionic magnesium ratio across all participants. The correlation was independent of diabetic status or ethnicity, and was highly significant (p < 0.001).
