A large body of evidence demonstrates the prevalence and adverse clinical consequences of magnesium deficiency in patients with diabetes mellitus. It would be prudent for physicians who treat these patients to consider magnesium deficiency as a contributing factor in many diabetic complications and in exacerbation of the disease itself. Repletion of the deficiency or prophylactic supplementation with oral magnesium may help avoid or ameliorate such complications as arrhythmias, hypertension, and sudden cardiac death and may even improve the course of the diabetic condition.
大量证据表明糖尿病患者中镁缺乏的普遍性及其不良临床后果。对于治疗这些患者的医生而言，将镁缺乏视为许多糖尿病并发症及疾病本身恶化的一个促成因素是明智的。补充缺乏的镁或口服镁进行预防性补充可能有助于避免或改善诸如心律失常、高血压和心源性猝死等并发症，甚至可能改善糖尿病病情的发展。
