Studies show that magnesium supplementation significantly improves insulin sensitivity, reduces fasting glucose, and lowers HbA1c levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Even in non-diabetic but insulin-resistant individuals, magnesium improved insulin sensitivity, suggesting that optimizing magnesium levels may help prevent type 2 diabetes in those at risk. When it comes to losing weight, magnesium plays a key role in keeping insulin levels balanced. High insulin levels signal the body to store fat rather than burn it, making fat loss more difficult. A study on obese children found that those with lower magnesium levels had higher insulin resistance compared to their leaner peers. ~ Didem
