Ans:
An inadequate magnesium intake may lead to elevated blood glucose levels because magnesium is an important cofactor for many high energy phosphate bonds enzymatic reactions of glucose metabolism. If magnesium deficiency occurs, such enzymatic reactions stop due to inactivation of enzyme like hexokinase and increase blood glucose levels. This deficiency also decreases insulin metabolism because magnesium act as a secondary messengers in insulin metabolism. So, inadequate magnesium increases blood glucose levels.
