You lost magnesium in the urine because of polyuria due to uncontrolled DM + chemotherapy induced kidney disease (tubulopathy). I wonder how much magnesium you take a day by mouth but you still can not make up for urine loss. Intermittent IV mag rider q 3 weeks is not effective because most of the transfused magnesium will be lost in the urine right away.
