Original Abstract of the Article :
Intra- and extracellular levels of magnesium and potassium were determined in 16 subjects with insulin-dependent type I diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and 30 healthy controls. Subjects with IDDM had lower levels of magnesium in muscle biopsies (p less than 0.001), plasma (p less than 0.001), and mononucle...See full text at original site

Magnesium hydroxide: a potential oasis for diabetic patients

Diabetes, a condition that affects millions worldwide, is a complex disease involving the body's inability to regulate blood sugar levels. This study focuses on the role of magnesium, a mineral essential for many bodily functions, in the management of type 1 diabetes. Researchers found that individuals with type 1 diabetes exhibited lower levels of magnesium in various tissues and had increased urinary excretion of this vital mineral. Their study explored the potential of magnesium hydroxide, a commonly available supplement, to replenish magnesium stores in diabetic patients.

Magnesium hydroxide shows promise in treating muscular magnesium deficiency in diabetics

The study demonstrated that oral administration of magnesium hydroxide resulted in increased levels of magnesium and potassium in muscle tissue, suggesting a potential benefit for diabetic patients. Additionally, the study found that magnesium hydroxide reduced insulin requirements in diabetic patients.

Magnesium and diabetes: a desert oasis

This research suggests that magnesium, like a refreshing oasis in a desert, may play a crucial role in the management of diabetes. However, it's essential to consult your doctor before taking any supplements, as they can interact with other medications or underlying conditions.

Dr.Camel's Conclusion

This research provides valuable insights into the potential benefits of magnesium hydroxide for individuals with type 1 diabetes. It suggests that addressing magnesium deficiency could play a significant role in managing the condition and improving overall health.
