I was just wondering if anyone has used chromium instead of metformin with any success? If so i would be interested to know what kind and how much? Did it lower your a1c?
Since I can post links now, here are the links to Vanadyl:Chromium is the wrong stuff. You need to look at Vanadyl Sulfate:
Vanadyl Sulfate (a supplimnet) for Blood Glucose transport. I can't post links, so look up the followig articles on pub med dot com:

You should eventually repair yourself, but not to your former glory.ToddAndMargo,
First I want to say that I live a ketogenic lifestyle. I do not take medication and my diabetes has been reversed because of it (not cured)
You are mistaken me if you think I am judging. What you are seeing is toned down absolute righteous anger. The Emergency Room allopath that diagnosed me was the ONLY allopath that gave me HONEST AND ACCURATE information. The GP Allopath I went to smother me in cow manure AT 1000 DOLLARS AN HOUR ($250.00 for 15 minutes).However, some people can not go ketogenic or live that type of lifestyle and for them, the medicine they take stop them from having major diabetes complications and possible death.
We don't judge here what people do to help them from diabetes. we do recommend that they try to use diet to control their blood sugar but at the end of the day, its their choice and
Agreed. Slow suicide is better than fast suicide.I will say medicine is better than doing nothing at all.
What ???? Not practical ???? Are you pulling my leg?? Meat, eggs, fish, avocados, almonds, macadamia nuts are available in any supermarket. No one is forcing you to eat grains.so while I agree with your sentiment about trying to eat in a way to control Diabetes, I support peoples choices to use medication where that is not practical for them.
I strongly disagree. Anyone who folows directions can become drug free. This web site will spell it out:I do not believe anyone can be drug free. I believe anyone can reduce their medication and get more out of life.
I have lost friends to this. First their legs fall off, then their kidneys blow out, then the arms start to lose feeling, the start to go blind, then the heart attacks (yes plural) finish them off.There are many people in this world that dont take medication or change their diet and they find out the hard way what diabetes can do to you
I don't know if you could tell, but I did calm it down a lot. I hate seeing what T2 does to folks, especially if information was being withheld. I lost a man I really cared about to it (you'd think he got the hint when got of his feet fell off). Many of my customers have lost their spouses to it too.I appreciate all of your information and hope you continue to provide information and experience in a calm , informative manner.
Not everyone needs to follow this. I haven't found it to be particularly helpful in my diabetic journey. I count carbs. I have never been on any diabetic drugs.... Glycemic Load, which is extremely important to becoming drug free.
