Micronutrient Deficiencies and Glucose Dysregulation: Clinical Implications for Insulin Resistance

Micronutrient Deficiencies and Glucose Dysregulation

Micronutrient deficiencies play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of glucose dysregulation and insulin resistance.

Chromium, magnesium, zinc, vanadium, B vitamins, and inositol support key enzymatic and signaling pathways that regulate glucose uptake, insulin sensitivity, and energy metabolism.

Deficiencies in these essential nutrients disrupt insulin-mediated glucose transport, impair β-cell function, and exacerbate oxidative stress and inflammation.

Evidence indicates that correcting these deficiencies through targeted dietary or supplemental intervention may improve glycemic control, enhance insulin signaling, and reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes and related metabolic disorders.
