Effect of experimental potassium deficiency on glucose and insulin metabolism
"Our results indicate that mild-to-moderate potassium depletion, of a magnitude commonly encountered in clinical practice, does cause a decrease in glucose tolerance associated with impaired insulin secretion, and that alteration in periph- eral tissue sensitivity to insulin is inconstant and of less significance in the pathogenesis of glucose intolerance. The minor potassium losses achieved by two of our subjects (subjects 3 and 5) were probably related to their failure to comply with the potassium depletion protocol. The observation that these subjects showed small changes in insulin secretion, and that the five subjects with more profound potassium depletion demonstrated larger reductions in insulin responses, supports the view that the primary effect of potassium depletion on carbohydrate tolerance is on the pancreatic beta cell. This is consistent with findings that, in the isolated perfused pancreas, insulin release is increased by progressively higher potassium concentrations in the perfusate.12"
Now imagine what a chronic deficiency does, and it's not always directly related to not ingesting enough potassium.
I'm merely sharing, questions should be addressed to burtlancast.
