Did you know that there have been lots of
studies done on the use of Chromium and diabetes? In fact the week after I started taking it (in synthetic form, instead of
organically bound which, is what the book I was reading recommended), I was high as a kite. And when reading the label, it says to be sure and consult your doctor
if, you were taking insulin. But I wasn't taking insulin, and I still had this horrendous reaction. I had also read elsewhere (later) that most normal people could take up to a thousand times as much Chromium (200 micrograms) without any kind of adverse reaction. Yet obviously with my sensitivity to it, it was a clear indication to me that my problem was related to diabetes. So I opted to take a different form of Chromium (organically bound or, GTF Chromium) and at a smaller dosage (100 micrograms). And sure enough my energy level increased (to a
steady level), the angina pains I was experiencing began to subside (and gone in about a month), as well as the rest of the symptoms I was experiencing. So, it began to look like smooth sailing ... that is, until the drug companies began to discontinue it a month or two later. And I eventually wound up going to the doctor because I couldn't find a suitable replacement.
