I had been prescribed a supplement for the treatment of acne and the salts in that supplement contain myo -inositol, D-Chiron Inositol, Chromium and Vitamin D3 and I have been taking these for 3 months now. I haven't been diagnosed with any PCOS or hormonal imbalance in my reports. Is it safe to take these supplements without any side effects as i read on internet these supplements are used for PCOS treatment mainly.
She has only been on insulin and low carb diet for a coupe weeks but her blood glucose levels have been consistently good. I know this may change, and several people (mostly Type 11 patients) have told me giving her Vitamin B12 and chromium would help. My question s are has anyone here tried those supplements or others? How did your physician feel about it? and are nutraceutical supplements safe for a child as young as mine?
Meaning for morning meals, I only consume 6 grams of Carb, and at lunchs and dinners meals, I allow myself only 12 grams of Carb. These days I can buy such low-carb foods, made by the Tortilla Factory,tortillas with such low-carb at Wal-mart.
This rule invented by Dr. Richard Bernstein, author of this book :Diabetes Solutions". You can log onto amazon .com to read reviews of this book.
The rule is very SIMPLE: to stablize the blood sugar, I always try to LOWER my carb intake.
The answer is yes. If you do so, you may require a little less insulin.
The thing is some diabetics respond to chromium and some don't. The reasons for this are unclear. The Chromium sold in healthfood stores as Chromium (GTF) glucose tolerance factor is my recommendation.
The same time each day eary in the morning is best, at least in the beginning. That way you will be up and about to moniter glucose levels.
Waverider has the right info.
The following is a brief on Chromium and is not intended to agree or disagree with the poster. I'm glad to read that Chromium has done wonders for her mother.

I have recently had 5 little what looked to be sand fly bites on my legs after sweeping up some sand and dirt and rubbish I had sharp shooting pains in my head (which had started 2 1/2 months before getting better and worse but this day was really bad) and blurred vision at lunch time. By next morning rash had spread to shins and and hands and as day went on it got worse and hosp staff treated and sent me home.
I have heard that celiac patients may lack chromium as they eat no wheat. How do we know if she is lacking chromium? Would taking chromium picolinate help with insulin absorption? What are the symptoms of low chromium levels, and what are the risks of too much chromium. My pharmacist and diabetic educator says that we need to be careful not to get too much chromium, but could not tell me much more than this. She is 11,and insulin dosages have risen in the last 3 yrs.
It is usually controlled with a change in eating habits (only high protein/fat food at night, no carbs after 6 PM) and often Chromium picolinate, a metabolic and blood sugar regulator, is recommended. In severe cases, the carbohydrate intake is limited to just vegetable and gluten-containing foods (potatoes, wheat, oatmeal, etc) are severely restricted or eliminated all together.
all illnesses have been ruled out for casing nerve problems
please can you assist
did the very high levels of chromium in his blood cause the nerve damage?? as I have heard that chromium leaves the body as Creatinine ...standard urine tests for Chromium VI look for Creatinine levels??? could that have caused a short term diabetic crisis that destroyed his nervous system???
or could there have been arsenic and lead in the paints that hurt him so badly???
High chromium indicates the loss of chromium through hair. it can be due to mineral imbalance. Biounavailabilty of chromium usually indicates a disrupted cell renewal process leading to subsequent hair loss. It also indicates depleted energy levels.
Manganese:
This indicates manganese toxicity possibly du to drinking water contamination. This might lead to iron deficiency in future. Usage of hair dyes also gives a false indication of high manganese content.
Some of these are waiting too long between meals, exercise which burns up sugars in the body and speeds up metabolism (and also insulin production), eating foods very high in carbohydrates (which overstimulate the pancreas and cause a hypoglycemic episode shortly after eating the high-carb food, or even in the case of one close friend, taking vitamins containing chromium triggered hypoglycemic episodes until the vitamins were stopped.
Snacking on nuts before bedtime is OK but read the nutrition label carefully. Like yogurt and other carb laden snacks mfg's add sugar for flavor. This can come in refined sugar, cane sugar, corn syrup, or carb sugar, etc. Carb sugar means every 7 grams equals one heaping Tablespoon of refined sugar [nasty]. In reality there really isn't a need for late night snacking as you're only satisfying a mental craving.
Hey Yall,
I was on methadone for 10 years 2 weeks ago I switched to SUBUTEX. I gained a-lot of weight while I was methadone about 80 pounds. I bought an over the counter Diatary Supplement at wal-mart it's called Relacore. The bottle says the active ingrediants are Vitimin B6, Magnesium oxide, and Chromium. I just want to be sure that it's ok for me to take the Relacore with my Subutex. Please let me know what yall think.
