has anyone else found that magnesium helps regulate blood sugar?

Question

My husband has been Type 2 for about 2 years, and he has been on oral meds, and then the dr. put him on insulin a few months ago, and his blood sugar has been some better.  When we went on vacation twice in the last year, we went to a hot mineral spa= and when in the mineral water, his blood sugar was very very good- found out that it is the magnesium in the water- just last week he started taken a powered form of magnesium, with his insulin and his blood sugar has been wonderful. Any one else experience this?

I don't know if it helps Diabetes but Dr. Atkins says that 1,000 mg. of magnesium cures headaches.

The natural diabetes vitamins and minerals that Dr. Atkins recommends that helped my husband are as follows:

L-Glutamine (1,000 mg.) - stops sugar cravings
Alpha Lipoic Acid (1,000 mg.) - natural diabetic cure
Cinnamon pills (1,000 mg.) - supports sugar metabolism
Chromium Picolinate (1,000 mg.) - regulates blood sugar

I have been on various doses and different types of magnesium supplements for several years as prescribed by my cardiologist for heart irregularity,  I am also type 2 and can tell you that magnesium apparently does not affect blood sugar.  At least not for me.
   Magnesium Oxide can sure give you loose bowels however!
   I would also add that it would be a stretch of the imagination to think that Mg in a spa could raise systemic levels of Mg.  I think you should look back and see what else happened on vacation such as a change in diet or increased exercise or decreased stress.

he shouldn't need any thing else with the insulin intake. cinammon usually helps blood sugar as does chromium. never heard of magnesium helping but I haven't read the entire internet yet.
