The best way to determine the right magnesium supplement is to consult with your doctor first. They can help you find the right form and dosage based on your specific needs, and ensure it's safe to take with your diabetes management plan.

Different forms of magnesium supplements include magnesium oxide and magnesium citrate. Some forms come as powders that dissolve in water, which may be easier for your body to absorb. Before considering supplements, try increasing magnesium through diet first. Good food sources include:

• Seeds (pumpkin, chia)
• Nuts (almonds, cashews)
• Leafy greens like spinach
• Whole grains
• Legumes
• Avocados
• Bananas

These natural sources are well-absorbed by the body and have a low risk of providing too much magnesium.
