User Reviews for chromium

I was diagnosed in November 2015 and picked this up before I was prescribed Lantus. In combination my BG would go as low as 75-80. I stopped taking it simply because I would forget, holidays came and yadda yadda. My BG for two weeks without it averaged 140ish. I've just begun taking it again. I did gain 5lbs since then but that could also be a combination of too many holiday treats.

Seems to be working fantastic. Fasting blood sugar had been running 100-105. Last 2 days have been 76 and 88 respectively. Obviously proper diet has to be in place, but Chromium pic has been a miraculous find. Taking 1000 mg in the morning.

After insulin, pills nothing seemed to be getting it my blood glucose down. I am taking 1000 mcg. of chromium picolinate after dinner each night. I take my reading in the morning. This morning it was 100.

My insulin's have been changed due to my insurance not covering Humalog and Lantus. My sugar levels started going up every day so I happened upon an article regarding chromium. I have only been on it a week but see an improvement every day. will continue to see if it helps. I am also hoping it will help with weight control.

I was diagnosed with diabetes II in 1996. I have been on several medications over the intervening years with medium results. I started taking Chromium/Cinnamon in 2006, two tabs daily, one in the morning, and one in the evening. My fasting Blood Sugar is 97-115 and the A1c is 100. My blood pressure is also down to 67/110

I have been having cramps and I have been taking this product for three weeks, the cramps started about two weeks after I started taking two 200 mcg a day. Could this be the cause of the cramps?

1 tablet at 4 to 5 pm has lowered my fasting blood sugar from an average of 160+ to an average of 110.

Just started using it

53 pounds gone in 3 months

I take 200 mcg a day and my results were amazing. It took 3 days before seeing a dramatic drop in my morning glucose numbers. They went from 200 to 134 in just 3 days. I use the all natural brand. Gluten Free all natural capsule

i tried to take one tablet a day and i find it very effective but i have to discontinue after a week because all my joints aches.

I have graves disease/hyperthyroidism and this causes severe hypoglycemia and i have realised that the times where its actually been ok is when i have taken chromium in some form like in a tablet, nutrition shake etc which im so glad about it means less collapsing and more energy :) so win win

just started.

I started using this product to increase my metabolism. for weight loss. I've used many different "diet" pills over the course of my life,for the past several yrs have used Stackers not only for weight loss but for increase in energy because of other meds..,i take that slow me down . the stackers helped take away the groggy feeling but left me shaky at times . i added the chromium picolinate 1000mg a day so not have to take so much stackers. in 2months time I've noticed weight is going down have more energy,gotten back strength in muscles and my depression has subsided tremendously . Didn't know this product benefited depression til reading up on it and realized my mood had improved a great deal. i don't eat as i should. many days at times wifhout eating at all .i have diabetes history on both sides of parents as well aas heart disease and mental health such as depression and axiety . since taking chromium picolinate I'm feeling better lossing weight and inches. nice to learn that this product also aids in diabetes,which could possibly keep me from developing it as well possibly keeping my famy history of heart disease under. control for me. am very pleased at the results with help of deppression and overall mood doesn't flucuate so badly. i have fibromyalgia which also seems. improved as well since started taking chromium picolinate. . so far have no side effects and haven't hhad to call my dr for steroids because the bulging disc in my lower back are swollen and irrating a nerve trhat brings me to the point i cannnot walk.
