Description
Norah Almajed and co-authors study two minerals and blood sugar in a 2025 paper on Saudi adults. Zinc and magnesium both feed into insulin signaling, but population data from the Middle East is thin, and diets and metabolic profiles there may not match the Western cohorts studied before.
Just over one thousand adults from two cities gave blood, diet recalls, and body measurements; about one in seven had prediabetes. The prediabetes group unexpectedly carried higher blood zinc than the normal group. The team modeled both minerals against insulin resistance and beta-cell function, adjusting for age, weight, activity, and other factors.
