00:00:03.031 --> 00:00:05.471 
What happens when people with
high blood sugar lack magnesium? 

00:00:06.231 --> 00:00:07.491 
Blood sugar is more difficult to control 

00:00:07.491 --> 00:00:10.151 
Magnesium helps insulin work effectively. 

00:00:10.651 --> 00:00:12.956 
When magnesium is deficient, insulin
sensitivity decreases, cells find it 

00:00:12.956 --> 00:00:15.031 
difficult to put sugar from the blood into use. 

00:00:15.251 --> 00:00:17.311 
causing high blood sugar and erratic fluctuations. 

00:00:18.251 --> 00:00:19.571 
Increased risk of insulin resistance 

00:00:19.571 --> 00:00:23.511 
Many studies show that magnesium
deficiency is directly related to insulin resistance, 

00:00:23.831 --> 00:00:25.771 
core element of type 2 diabetes. 

00:00:26.071 --> 00:00:28.721 
This condition creates an unfavorable
spiral, high blood sugar causes 

00:00:28.721 --> 00:00:30.311 
magnesium to be lost through urine, 

00:00:30.311 --> 00:00:32.771 
and magnesium deficiency further increases blood sugar. 

00:00:33.711 --> 00:00:34.971 
Easy to encounter cardiovascular complications 

00:00:34.971 --> 00:00:37.711 
Magnesium helps stabilize heart
rate and blood pressure. 

00:00:38.151 --> 00:00:41.811 
In people with high blood sugar,
magnesium deficiency can increase the risk of high blood pressure, 

00:00:42.051 --> 00:00:45.431 
arrhythmia and cardiovascular disease,
common complications of diabetes mellitus. 

00:00:46.431 --> 00:00:47.971 
Cramps, numbness, limbs 

00:00:47.971 --> 00:00:51.191 
Magnesium deficiency affects nerve
and muscle transmission. 

00:00:51.731 --> 00:00:54.891 
Patients may experience nighttime
cramps, numbness, ventricular contractions, 

00:00:54.891 --> 00:00:57.411 
easily confused with neuropathic
complications due to diabetes mellitus. 

00:00:58.171 --> 00:00:59.911 
Fatigue, sleep disorders 

00:00:59.911 --> 00:01:02.431 
Magnesium participates in regulating the nervous system. 

00:01:02.951 --> 00:01:06.591 
When deficient, people with high blood
sugar are easily tired, anxious, and have trouble sleeping. 

00:01:06.931 --> 00:01:09.771 
increases stress, a factor that makes
blood sugar more difficult to control. 

00:01:10.751 --> 00:01:12.111 
Could worsen kidney complications 

00:01:12.111 --> 00:01:15.471 
Prolonged high blood sugar increases
magnesium excretion through the kidneys. 

00:01:15.951 --> 00:01:18.571 
Prolonged magnesium deficiency can worsen kidney damage, 

00:01:18.891 --> 00:01:21.051 
especially in people who already have diabetic kidney disease.
