Thanks. Whether hyperkalemia due to any reason is sustainable or not, it is different issue. But I am just checking that can it increase insulin secretion. You have indicated it is possible. Then we can link it with altering insulin dose as it may ne...
Hi, In view of discussion in another topic, since insulin can shift K from ECF to ICF and can treat hyperkalemia, is it possible to increase insulin secretion by taking more potassium? Say in diabetic and non diabetic people. Thanks.

It is indicated on few links and also look logical. I may not be surprised, if glucose control on getting CKD is probably related to it since K levels can increase on getting nephropathy.

I am asking in view of some indicaions: "Level of Potassium in the serum also affects insulin secretion from the pancreas. Because the beta cells have an ATP dependent K channel which is when closed leads to retained K inside the beta cell which favo...

I was thinking by reading these discussions, can insulin secretion be increased by higher intake of Potassium? I wonder, how ICF Potassium level can be checked because I think K come out of cell on cells taken out of body.
