Re: my story and final true diagnosis

Chromium is the most important since a lack of chromium does decrease insulin sensitivity. And chromium polynicotinate is the best. You can start on the picolinate until you can find the polynicotinate. Recommended dose is 200mcg 3 to 4 times daily. Vandadyl sulfate has also been shown to help open insulin receptors, while reducing blood glucose. Recommended dose here is 20mg 3 times daily. And the herb gymnema sylvestre has been shown to not only block a lot of the sugar we ingest from being absorbed, but also to increase insulin sensitivity. The herb should be taken about 20 minutes before meals to allow it time to lock up glucose receptors.
