Chromium is considered as
a weight shedding agent and it also helps in glucose tolerance. It is
suggested that chromium should be supplemented with other modes of
treatment as it helps in controlling diabetes. But, several evidences
have proved that chromium actually is not that effective so, doctors say
that it can't be recommended for diabetes cure.
Although,
chromium is one of the mandatory nutrient for the body and plays a role
in metabolic process of glucose and lipid. It's efficacy in lowering
blood glucose level have been found incase of patients with Type 2
diabetes. But, blood glucose level in people without diabetes has shown
little response towards chromium supplements.
In case of Type 2
patients this increased blood sugar level gets lowered to some extent
with consumption of chromium. But, chromium's effect on blood lipids has
been found to be nil. It was found ineffective in type 1 diabetes.
Chromium
is present in molasses, whole grains, eggs, yeast and beef. These could
be consumed in greater amounts to increase chromium intake. But, intake
must not exceed one thousand microgram a day. Excess usage may result in
complications, particularly related to kidney.
