Elfie, I have read the same thing in many different sources and I absolutely believe that being deficient in Mg, is just one part of the equation that sends the body down the path to insulin resistance. That's why I started supplementing with Mg in the first place and at least in my case, there is no doubt that taking Mg is helping reverse my insulin resistance.
I will always take Mg from here on in... even if I am able to reverse my insulin resistance 100% and get off all my meds, I will never stop supplementing with Mg. |
