Diabetics lose magnesium thru the urine all the time.
The reason for this is not understood.
There is a lotion now, that is very very good, that helps the circulation to the feet and other areas of the body. It is called Morton Epsom lotion. It is at WalMart, Walgreen's and also online at Amazon. It will provide magnesium to your body, and also work as a pain reliever to some extent. It will also reduce muscle cramping.
Use about a quarter's dollop divided in half, for each foot.
If you take blood pressure medication, follow your blood pressure as magnesium will lower high readings and you may need a dose adjustment eventually.

This is a first line suggestion because it works for just about everyone with PN.
