Magnesium and Blood Sugar
Magnesium supports insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism, and low levels are often associated with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes.
- Forms often suggested: magnesium taurate or magnesium chloride.
- Common range: roughly 250 to 350 mg daily, often taken after meals.
- Food sources: dark chocolate, legumes such as lentils and black beans, and whole grains like quinoa and brown rice.
Important: if you take medication for diabetes, talk to your doctor before adding a magnesium supplement, since it may affect your blood sugar levels and interact with your treatment.
