MagnesiumThe evidence of association between magnesium levels and diabetic retinopathy is limited by small study effects.1Kubbara EA (2026)Association Between Levels of Magnesium and Diabetic Retinopathy in Diabetic Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
MagnesiumTherefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis aim to update the current evidence.1Kubbara EA (2026)Association Between Levels of Magnesium and Diabetic Retinopathy in Diabetic Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
MagnesiumSensitivity analysis retained all studies, and no evidence of publication bias was detected.1Kubbara EA (2026)Association Between Levels of Magnesium and Diabetic Retinopathy in Diabetic Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
MagnesiumBackground/objectives Magnesium is an intracellular cation that plays important roles in metabolism and insulin signaling.1Kubbara EA (2026)Association Between Levels of Magnesium and Diabetic Retinopathy in Diabetic Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
MagnesiumThus, this review aims to integrate advances in magnesium physiology with contemporary clinical and nutritional evidence, providing a consolidated strategy for understanding the causes, manifestations, diagnosis, and management of hypomagnesemia.3Papagiannidou Anastasia (2026)Hypomagnesemia: A Clinical and Nutritional Update
MagnesiumFinally, we also cover practical laboratory assessment and evidence-informed repletion strategies.3Papagiannidou Anastasia (2026)Hypomagnesemia: A Clinical and Nutritional Update
MagnesiumFinally, we recognize that the literature on magnesium physiology and hypomagnesemia is extensive, and although we aimed to incorporate the most relevant and high-quality evidence, not all available studies could be discussed in detail within this review.3Papagiannidou Anastasia (2026)Hypomagnesemia: A Clinical and Nutritional Update
Magnesium2+ ++ + + 2+ ++ 1 Magnesium (Mg or Mg, Mg), described previously as the “forgotten electrolyte”, is a fundamental element for living organisms being the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body, following sodium (Na or Na), potassium (K or K) and calcium (Ca or Ca, Ca), and the second most abundant cation in the intracellular fluid after potassium [].3Papagiannidou Anastasia (2026)Hypomagnesemia: A Clinical and Nutritional Update
