Is Chromium Effective In Lowering Blood Sugar Levels?
I have type 2 Diabetes that doesn t require medication. Should I be taking chromium to lower my blood sugar? I do use cinnamon occasionally and I try to include leafy greens, nuts and proteins and beans in my meals. I take other supplements as well as a multi vitamin.

Hello,
Yes, can start taking chromium. Some studies have concluded its effectiveness in lowering high blood sugar levels.
I usually recommend my patients to take chromium in combination with other diabetes herbs like cinnamon, fenugreek, bitter melon, etc.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
