[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1635099, member: 196898"] I found some very detailed studies of the Krebs / Citric cycle which described how insulin and other hormones acted on muscle tissues, and controlled the use of glucose by these cells. Chromium was involved in the chemistry of the switches that enabled or stored glucose as glycogen. Now in insulin resistance in T2D, it is mainly muscle related. As such it seems to be a T2D problem. Although I believe that T1D can suffer a form of IR, this I think is around the adipose tissue and involves the resistance to glucose by the liver or other fat cells, not muscles. So you may not have T1D IR yourself (believed to be associated with a fatty liver) so the effect of chromium is probably less likely to show on a bgl meter, [/QUOTE]
