cyrano: (Sudden but Inevitable)
[personal profile] cyrano
So the results of a blood test that I trust came back, and I talked to Doctor Lin. Triglycerides are uncomfortably high, and my fasting blood sugar was at 116. After I talked about the changes I'd made, and the lack of response I saw, she suggested (a) continuing with the changes (b) reducing the amount of white sugar/white flour/white rice I ate (c) starting a program of glucosage.

I doubt this stuff is in my multi-vitamins, but I can certainly check. Is the form crucial, or is chromium in general sufficient?

I think chromium in general is sufficient, and that chromium picolinate was recommended either because it's the most common form of standalone supplement, or because it didn't usually get packaged with carby fillers like Brewer's yeast or dextrose. Just check the ingredient lists.
