Low serum magnesium has been implicated in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes and its cardiovascular complications [Administering a single i.v. dose of magnesium improves insulin sensitivity in people with stress-induced hyperglycaemia [Thus, it is currently unclear whether magnesium supplementation can improve insulin sensitivity in people with type 2 diabetes and a low magnesium concentration. Low magnesium levels seem most prevalent in advanced diabetes, and people with this condition are often on insulin treatment [
