I have been trying to regulate my glucose for several years, I was metformin, that did not work, then I started DIAMICROM MR 30mg then it was increased to 90mg. did not work for me, Then I started taking Chromium 500mcg by (Swiss)in the morning, now my levels are so normal and I have also lost weight. I'm so amazed and would like to share this with the world.

Started Lemme Curb which is Chromium 600mcg and Cinnamon last week. Loved the feeling of zero cravings. HOWEVER, I have been itchy all over like I had an allergic r reaction. About to call my doc to find out what to do. I stopped taking pills 3 days ago. Ugh frustrated!!!

I started taking this a few days ago to help me with sugar cravings and I've had horrible insomnia, anxiety attacks, nightmares, and I've been having ADHD melt downs daily. I didn't realize until this morning what was causing the sudden shift but when I looked up side effects, all of them were there. Would not recommend for people with ADHD

Began taking Forza Burn with chromium and other ingredients in it and I developed dizziness so severe that when I lay down, or on my left side, the room spins and became nauseous. I stopped taking it and the dizziness has gotten better but is still there. I will never take this product again. BE CAREFUL..!!

Quote : Research suggests that taking chromium picolinate by mouth daily for 6 months does not affect weight, depression symptoms, or the frequency of binge eating in people with binge eating disorder. on the WebMD site on Chormuim intake research.

Blood sugars have gone below pre-Chromium level resulting in the pre-diabetes label. I hope to continue progress by wathcing consumpton of sugars and starches. Maybe diabetes can be a label that is erased from my record!

CAUTION! My wife had diabetes and high blood pressure for 20 years. She start taking chromium and other vitamins and herbs ALONG WITH HER INSULIN to try to improve her blood sugar, and perhaps improve her pancreas function. We started with low doses. After a month, she decided to stop taking her insulin and BP meds. She gradually increased the chromium (100 to 400 twice a day) and other vitamins and herbs until her blood sugar was back to normal. She was so excited. This lasted about 8 months. Then she got sick/flu/cold and her blood sugar shot up to 230 and BP increased to 170. This is where we went wrong. Instead of going back to a low dose of insulin and BP meds, she had to double the dosage of chromium to (1000mg twice a day). (We met with a naturopath and she recommended doubling again to 2,000 twice a day WHICH WE DID NOT DO) 4 months later we discovered that she had kidney failure stage 5. I suggested that she have a kidney biopsy, but her nephrologist was not helpful. Finally, we have found a Doctor that recommends kidney biopsy to try to determine what has caused her kidney failure. CONCLUSION: A moderate amount of chromium is wonderful (maybe 100 twice a day??? Ask your Doctor. I cannot diagnose, treat, cure or prescribe!). An excessive amount of GTF or Chromium picolinate can be toxic to kidneys and liver, especially with long term use. THIS IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.Read More Read Less

I have never had blood sugars so high as when I used chromium. I was prediabetic and have brought my A1C down to 5.6 with diet and exercise. I wanted a further improvement, but his proved to be a deprovement. I tossed it.

I've been taking about two week with breakfast. A week ago I started noticing itchy welts on my chest. These welts continued for yhe last week until I realized it was the chromium. I stopped taking it and the welts went away. Never noticed a difference in my hypoglycemia but I didn't take long enough.

I've been on Metformin since 2001, and it wasn't working effectively anymore. Doctor said I could try adding this. I take 200 mcg once or twice a day; twice if I've done a bit more carbs for the day(daily goal 100 carbs or less). I take it with Vitamin C, as I read that helped absorption. I've been doing this for a month, and best readings I've had in years.

For years, I was troubled with sugar cravings. I tried GTF Chromium, and the cravings went away rather quickly. Now I take it only once in a while if the cravings start to come back.
