Chromium, a trace element present in all foods also as dietary supplement essential to facilitate glucose entry into cells by enhancing insulin intake and also by increasing insulin sensitivity. Other effect shown by chromium is down regulating pancreatic beta cell activity. Although the exact mechanism is not identified but chromium binding substance chromodulin (Chromium with Oligopeptide) activates insulin receptor to enhance insulin action.

Hyomagnesemia is more common in patients with type 2 diabetes and Alcoholism.Low magnesium intake and urinary magnesium loss leads to Hypomagnesemia in type 2 Diabetes. Magnesium is crucial for all reactions requiring ATP(Adenosine Triphosphate).Supplements can normalize magnesium deficit and also increased insulin sensitivity is seen with 400mg/day Magnesium.
