There is accumulating evidence that magnesium, an important mineral having a pivotal role in many physiological functions, may be important in development and healing of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). In this non-systematic mini review, we discuss the role of magnesium in DFUs, as well as the effects of magnesium administration in DFUs. Reduced Mg levels appear to be associated with DFUs. Moreover, Mg administration may be beneficial for the outcome of DFUs. Further investigation is imperative in order to shed more light on these findings.
