Would Chromium Picolinate Help A Pre-diabetic Manage Blood Sugar Levels?
I am 64 year old male, and have been told that i am pre diabetic. The only health issue other then this is hypothyroid and take synthroid .125. Would taking chromium percolate help with this issue. I exercise and eat healthy overall, but old body just seems to need a boost. If i took such a substance since I understand it can really lower blood sugar what would be lower dosage for me.

Hi,
Pre-diabetes is a condition that blood sugar levels are slightly high. This can be managed by diet change. I recommend you to visit a dietitian for a low sugar index diet and hypocaloric diet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka
