Re: Chromium Polynicotinate and Blood Tests

Dear Priscilla Ballou,
Thank you for your three messages and for the information. As regards
my doctor. She would not be pleased that I have acted without
consulting her. She would also be annoyed if my natural condition is
being obscured by the chromium polynicotinate, not only because this
would prevent comparison with previous blood test results, but also,
unless I am mistaken, because the current and future blood counts would
provide unrealistic data.
My HbA1c blood test, a major tool for control of the diabetes, would be
rendered useless. Unfortunately, if my blood sugar has been reduced by
using chromium polynicotinate, it may not suit my doctor's control
methods.
Regards,
Wilde.
