If you have muscle spasms a lot and are diabetic, when your doctor sends you for lab work, be sure he tests your magnesium level as well as your vitamin B-12 level. I've been deficient in both, all because of my diabetes medicines deleting these valuable nutrients from my body. Low magnesium will cause muscle spasms, constipation, etc. Low Vit. B-12 will cause you to feel tired, draggy, no energy. If you are low in Vit.

Please don't take magnesium without first consulting your doctor! You can really mess up your electrolytes and become seriously ill.
I have found that magnesium does help constipation. I was taking 1000mg of calcium everyday. My doctor told me I needed 1500mg. Just the extra 500mg. caused me to be constipated. I saw Dr. Oz on Oprah explaining about magnesium. I started taking it immediately and the constipation went away.
I am diabetic also and have had a problem with not having any magnesium. This definitely affects muscles and you have to remember that your heart is a muscle.
