Diabetes and Magnesium deficiency
Magnesium deficiency is particularly widespread in people with diabetes. The reason for this is permanently elevated blood glucose levels. As a result, magnesium is increasingly excreted in the urine or otherwise withdrawn from the blood.
Consequential diseases
If magnesium is permanently lacking, secondary diseases of diabetes are favored: For example, the risk of cardiovascular disease, which is already higher in diabetics, is increased. The severity of retinal diseases also increases. In addition, without magnesium it is more difficult to normalize the disturbed sugar metabolism.
How can magnesium support people with type 2 diabetes?
A balanced magnesium level helps the cells in type 2 diabetes to respond better to insulin again. Magnesium also helps protect against secondary diseases, for example cardiovascular diseases or damage to the kidneys, eyes and nerves.
