It may influence the release and activity of insulin, the hormone that helps control blood glucose (sugar) levels [<A class="fscopy_nounderline" href="%23en13">13</A>].  Low blood levels of magnesium (hypomagnesemia) are frequently seen in individuals with type 2 diabetes.  Hypomagnesemia may worsen insulin resistance, a condition that often precedes diabetes, or may be a consequence of insulin resistance.  Individuals with insulin resistance do not use insulin efficiently and require greater amounts of insulin to maintain blood sugar within normal levels.  The kidneys possibly lose their ability to retain magnesium during periods of severe hyperglycemia (significantly elevated blood glucose).  The increased loss of magnesium in urine may then result in lower blood levels of magnesium [<A class="fscopy_nounderline" href="%23en4">4</A>].  In older adults, correcting magnesium depletion may improve insulin response and action [<A class="fscopy_nounderline" href="%23en42">42</A>].    </DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C030BB6A-53E0-468A-8FBA-E3851C1968D6/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
