Type 2 Diabetes: How to Regulate Blood Sugar Naturally and What Is the Role of Chromium?

What is Type 2 Diabetes?

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic metabolic condition that is becoming more common in the world, especially in the last few decades. This condition affects the way the body uses glucose – the main source of energy for cells. In type 2 diabetes, the body becomes resistant to insulin or does not produce enough insulin, which makes it difficult for sugar to enter the cells and leads to increased blood glucose levels.

How does insulin work in the body?

Insulin is a hormone secreted by the pancreas, a gland located behind and below the stomach. When we eat a meal, blood sugar levels rise, and the pancreas begins to secrete insulin. It allows glucose to enter cells from the bloodstream, where it is used to produce energy. Once blood sugar drops, insulin levels also decrease.

However, in people with type 2 diabetes, the cells do not respond properly to insulin – what we call insulin resistance. As a result, sugar remains in the bloodstream, causing high glucose levels that can damage organs over time.

The role of glucose and the liver

Glucose comes from food, but also from the liver. When we don’t eat for a long time, the liver releases glucose, which it has stored in the form of glycogen, so that the body has a constant source of energy. In people with diabetes, this mechanism is disrupted, which further aggravates the condition.

Chromium – a key mineral for blood sugar balance

One of the most important micronutrients for people suffering from type 2 diabetes is chromium, especially in the form of chromium picolinate. Chromium is a component of cromodulin, a complex that increases the action of insulin and facilitates the transfer of glucose from the blood to the cells.

Studies have shown that chromium:

increases insulin sensitivity
improves glucose metabolism
may reduce blood glucose levels in obese people
contributes to better sugar control, especially after a meal

For this reason, chromium picolinate is often used as a dietary supplement for diabetes and insulin resistance.

Recommendation for dietary supplements

If you have type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance, it is recommended:

100 mcg chromium picolinate, twice a day
In addition to chromium, it is important to add:
- Vitamin C
- B vitamins, especially B6, B12 and folic acid

These nutrients work synergistically to stabilize blood sugar and regenerate pancreatic cells.

Foods rich in chromium

In addition to dietary supplements, it is recommended to consume foods that naturally contain chromium:

Broccoli
Whole grains
Oat
Garlic
Basil
Organic beef
Sweet potato (sweet potato)
Bean
Grape
Nutritional yeast
Leek
Kiwi
Radish
Avocado
Strawberries
Pears

Include these foods in your daily diet for better glucose control.

Can results be achieved quickly?

Yes – with proper nutrition, dietary supplements and lifestyle changes, blood sugar levels can be stabilized within 30 days. The key is consistency, regular physical activity and avoiding industrially processed foods.
