I take chromium picolinate a very high dosage. I also count calories. It is the only thing that has consistently regulated my blood sugar levels while dieting to lose weight. Before that diet and exercise alone weren't enough to change my body. Now I don't need to work out I just count calories and supplement accordingly. I've lost 50+ lbs in 7 months.

Thanks Dr. Yeung. Great accurate tips. I will start adding this as a supplement because I'm interested in not relying on metformin or insulin shots. I refuse to get them, so I take 500-1000 milligrams of metformin. I also exercise every two three days per week but need to increase it.

Blood sugar was 113 when i got up this morning. Then I took 200 mg chromium picolinate and 1 table spoon of mct oil and ate 2 Loves fat bars, a pint of blueberries, and pound of chicken wings and two tablespoons of sunflower butter and an hour later my blood sugar was 88! I have not had a blood sugar that low in a few years and have been under 100 only a few times in the last year or so let alone an hour after eating! I also take berberine.

@karlint39 7 месяцев назад

Mistakenly taking 200mg of chromium would seem difficult since capsules are typically 200mcg or so. You'd have to take 1000 capsules, which most people would notice, I'd think. Are there capsules on the market that are 200mg? If so, what are they for??? I'm hoping chromium picolinate supplementation will help reduce the insulin resistance and Cushing's syndrome that has resulted from taking high doses of prednisone for an autoimmune disease. This has caused me to gain fat and lose muscle mass over the last several months, and avoiding carbs, increasing protein and exercising has done nothing to stop this rapid muscle-to-fat conversion that has happened while I have been on prednisone. I haven't measured fasting insulin, but my blood glucose has been sky high, and my HbA1c has gone up from 5.0 before starting the prednisone to 5.7 two months later, and presumably it will be over 6.0 after I have been on the drug for 3 months. No help from the doctor on mitigating the side effects of the drug so far. I don't have a problem with weight -- it's just a problem of body composition, which again, must be the result of insulin resistance and gluconeogeneis and catabolism.

@The_New_Abnormal_World_Order 3 месяца назад

I hope it is helping. I just bought some 'Bio-Chromium' by 'Pharma Nord' which is supposed to be even more bioavailable. I was on hydrocortisone for a year myself and it wrecked my body. Luckily that is behind me now.

@freeurmind2871 Месяц назад

@@The_New_Abnormal_World_Order I guess this company is paying you since you’re in every comment promoting it & it’s getting really annoying

@freeurmind2871 Месяц назад

@karlint39: Your body doesn’t convert “muscle-to-fat” EVER. That’s just not possible. Muscle cells & fat cells are completely different structures of cells. There’s absolutely no process in the human body that would allow that. Prednisone raises your blood glucose level and that’s probably the reason you developed insulin resistance. If used for a long period of time, it leads to what’s called steroids-induced diabetes which’s what you most likely have unless you were already diabetic/prediabetic before starting prednisone!

@karlint39 Месяц назад

@@freeurmind2871 The body converts muscle to blood glucose, that's called "gluconeogenesis." If there is excess blood glucose, the body stores this as fat, a process called "lipogenesis". So you are correct, that there is no one process, these two processes work to achieve the same result as what I was saying. Thank you for correcting me. Think about it, if a caveman is on a hunting expedition and goes without catching something for several days, it would be useful to convert body tissue to fuel, so having this ability is a survival advantage in that scenario. BTW I did not have insulin resistance before starting prednisone! BTW now that I am off the prednisone, my insulin resistance and HbA1c have come back down. I don't need the chromium picolinate

@martydisciple2023 3 месяца назад

I have seen of your videos. In each video you mention that none of the supplements have any effect on weight loss. Why were they promoted? For example the Keto diet doesn’t help everyone even though they said that it’s scientifically proven to lose weight. Caloric restriction seems to be the only path according to scientific evidence. Is that true though?

@stephanieinthesuburbs1522 6 месяцев назад

Retired OB nurse here. No, don’t take this or any other supplements without speaking with your OB/Gyn. Everyone is different, so just because someone you may know who has the same or similar experiences with their pregnancy doesn’t mean it’s safe for you or your baby. For example, family history/genetics from 50 years ago still plays a major role in your health. Hope this helps and congratulations on your pregnancy! Happy New Year! 🎆🎊🎈

@ashleyhaley6322 Год назад

You are confusing insulin sensitivity with insulin resistant. What you described is insulin resistant, not insulin insensitivity. Insulin insensitivity is actually the goal

@aprilbrown7480 Год назад

Right! I noticed that too 🤔

@BrianYeungND Год назад

You seem to be confusing insulin SENSITIVITY with insulin INSENSITIVITY.

@beekhel9530 Год назад

Insulin resistance and insulin INsensitivity are the same thing, they both mean your body insulin is unable to regulate your blood sugar because your cells are not responding to its effect! Insulin SENSITIVITY is the goal which means your cells are sensitive to the effect of insulin leading to lower blood sugar.
