Normally, when a person drinks a liquid, whether it be at whatever temperature, their swallow reflex, which is connected to the throat, which is a muscle...it will hold back food or in this case a liquid so as to not overwhelm the digestive tract.
However, in a person with Diabetes, this function is turned off and the person just keeps chugging and chugging and chugging... Soon the liquid that was in the cup...with some ice cubes..is empty.
So for years when I go off the Metformin and secondary drug Glyburide o the previous one I have noticed this phenominon.
Throat swallowing is a bodily reflex and the throat is a muscle and lack of Magnesium can cause weakness in muscles...then building back to Normal levels...Magnesium Sulphate (Epsom Salt) in the body should help in this regard.
Typing in Throat into Wikipedia and then searching on muscle, it comes up with the Pharyngeal muscles:
on that page it says...:
During swallowing, these muscles act to shorten and widen the pharynx.
