According to research published in the Winter issue of Journal of the American College of Nutrition, higher magnesium intake was significantly associated with lower fasting insulin and better insulin sensitivity, two important factors in repelling type 2 diabetes. The non-diabetic subjects studied were from the Framingham Offspring Study. The study promotes a magnesium-rich diet.
In another study appearing in the same journal, a cross-sectional study performed in African American and Hispanic adults living in New York City, found that those with diabetes had lower serum magnesium levels compared to those classified as pre-diabetic or those with normal fasting glucose levels.
