    Diabetics need calcium supplement every day: calcium can promote the normal secretion of insulin. When blood sugar rises, the body will need insulin to regulate, then calcium is needed to convey this message to the pancreas, so that it begins to secrete insulin. Therefore, if the body lacks calcium, it cannot complete the function of conveying information, the secretion of insulin will be abnormal, and the blood sugar level will increase.
