Guest guest Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Hi I'm taking 200 mcgs per and taking it once a day as per directions on the bottle. I only started a week ago and so I'm giving it some time to kick in. How much of a difference has it made to your readings. Have you had any side effects from increasing the dose?

My BG was never very high to begin with (180-220 at the most) but at 1000mcg per day it became non-diabetic normal. It took a couple of meals with 2 pills at the meal to see the difference, but it was noticeable to say the least. I usually take 2 in the am, 1 with lunch, and 2 with or after dinner. Mostly because my fasting numbers have always been more of a problem than the PD's. -- Long live the melt!

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 These are 200 mcg chromium picolinate pills. A mcg is 1/10th of a mg. Virginia > Sorry Im slow.
