[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1004812, member: 196898"] Some time ago i did a self monitoring trial using chromium picolinate, and I found it reduced my fasting bgl by between 1 and 2 mmol/L. My levels rose by that when I stopped taking it, and I plotted the trend lines to confirm the effect. Since then I take chromium supplement but not on a regular basis since there are no real studies on the long term effects on health. It would seem that chromium is normally obtained from diet, so should not need supplements. I have read also that the supplement only appears to work while there is a dietary deficiency. Extract taken from an ADA Diabetes journal gives:- << Trivalent chromium is found in a wide range of foods, including egg yolks, whole-grain products, high-bran breakfast cereals, coffee, nuts, green beans, broccoli, meat, brewer’s yeast, and some brands of wine and beer >>. Having said that, modern diets are possibly becoming deficient, and also use of any type of diuretic treatment may lead to depletion. Smokers and heavy coffee drinkers may also be specially affected.
