Are diabetics FLUSHING this essential nutrient down the toilet?
The older we get… the less CONTROL we seem to have over our lives…
And over what happens to our own bodies!
But REMAINING in the driver’s seat is CRUCIAL to maintaining your independence.
That’s the sad truth when it comes to type 2 diabetes… when you could be LOCKED into a routine of finger pricks and insulin shots.
That’s not the life you want to lead.
Fortunately, there’s something that can help you SHIFT the course of how you’re managing your diabetes.
It’s a nutrient that’s absolutely ESSENTIAL for blood sugar control…
Yet too many folks with type 2 diabetes are LACKING in it… particularly those who NEED it the most.
Have you sprung a leak?
If your blood sugar levels are out of control, there’s a nutrient deficiency you need to know about right away.
And that’s especially true if your body’s natural process of regulating sugar… a.k.a. insulin… is FAILING you.
Because if you’ve LOST insulin sensitivity… or you’ve developed insulin resistance… you could be LOSING too much magnesium when you pee!
And the more magnesium in your urine… the more likely you could become dangerously deficient.
Friend, if you’re a little on the older side, you REALLY need to pay attention to this risk.
Low magnesium levels on their own can cause symptoms like muscle weakness or cramps… loss of appetite… and even mental changes.
But in diabetics, a magnesium deficiency can spike the risk for diabetic complications, including heart issues.
Fortunately, you can RESTORE your magnesium levels… help IMPROVE your insulin action… and help BALANCE your blood sugar…
According to the NIH, it could help you REGAIN glycemic control in just 30 days.
And if you haven’t been diagnosed with diabetes yet… but possibly are already on your way… magnesium offers hope to you, too.
In a 2017 study, folks with the HIGHEST dietary magnesium intake had a 15% lower risk of developing full-blown type 2 diabetes than those with the lowest.
Your doc can check your levels with some simple bloodwork – but keep in mind that MOST of your supply of magnesium isn’t found in the blood, but in your bones and other tissues.
By the time your blood levels are showing as low… your ACTUAL levels of magnesium could have hit ROCK BOTTOM!
Don’t wait for that to happen.
A urine test can determine whether you’re excreting excessive amounts of magnesium… and if you may need to boost your intake.
Because even if you’re not CLINICALLY deficient… you could have INSUFFICIENT supplies of magnesium!
There are many different forms of magnesium – so check with your doc about the best one for you to try.
Your body may more easily absorb magnesium aspartate, citrate, lactate, or chloride forms than magnesium oxide or magnesium sulfate.
Some have a laxative effect – so proceed with caution.
The absolute best food source of magnesium is raw organic cacao… although you can also find it in abundance in leafy greens and other non-starchy vegetables, certain nuts and seeds, and certain animal proteins.
To getting enough of what you need,
