Is Magnesium a factor in Diabetes?

Magnesium and Diabetes

Magnesium is essential to carbohydrate metabolism. Studies suggest that magnesium helps insulin to be secreted, while also helping maintain cellular sensitivity to insulin. Thus, long term magnesium deficiency may be to blame for both insulin deficient and insulin resistant diabetes. Further, diabetes is known to cause or worsen magnesium deficiency by increasing the amount of magnesium the body loses through urine.
