I read lot about Chromium then I try myself with "Glucose Health" supplement from NUTRILITE. I am using this product sine 8 months and I controlled my blood glucose. I aam Type 2 diabetic and I used to take Metformin 500 mg for two times. Now I completely stopped my Metformin and I am using Glucose health which contain Chromium, Garcinia (Fruit), and Gymnema(Leaves). Before using this I searched about all those elements and they didn't have any sideffects. Now I am taking only one capsule at afternoon and my sugar level is normal. It is recommended to take two tablets half an hour before food. And it's working for me.

Chromium picolinate is not the correct Chromium to be taking. The correct Chromium to take after meals is Chromium Polynicotinate. Chromium is used to push nutrients away from fat cells and into muscle cells. Chromium Polynicotinate has greater biological activity than other forms of Chromium. It helps to stabilize blood sugar levels and can be critical to the synthesis of cholesterol, fats and proteins. Chromium polynicotinate consists of pure niacin-bound chromium, identified by United States Government researchers as the active component of true GTF (Glucose Tolerance Factor). GTF is responsible for binding insulin to cell membrane receptor sites. Chromium polynicotinate has been shown to possess greater biological activity than other chromium supplements. Chromium plays a role in the metabolism of glucose, and is necessary for energy production. Since this mineral assists in the production of insulin, it helps to stabilize blood sugar levels and can be beneficial both for people with hypoglycemia and diabetes. It is also crucial to the synthesis of cholesterol, fats, and proteins. Chromium Polynicotinate is more effective than any other type of chromium, as it binds the elemental chromium to niacin (Vitamin B-3). This provides a biologically active form of chromium, which is more absorbable in the body. The typical safe adult dosage of chromium is 50 to 200mcg daily, taken with food. However, those supplementing with chromium as part of a weight loss program have been known to take up to 400mcg daily.

Dr. told me it was OA and AR I check the website to see what the other side affects for januvia was, and found others had the same. I stopped taking it, and the side affects went away, I feel like my old self again, can't wait to discuss with my doctor.
