Brief Answer:
About Diabetes treatment;

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone carefully through your concern.
Before deciding to change the therapy of Diabetes I would recommend to check HbA1c level.
It reflects the mean glucose level of the last three months.
The treatment will depend on its level.
Chromium is a supplement that can help adjusting the blood glucose but if the HbA1c is too high, it is not enough. The treatment should be modified.
Hope the information will help.
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
