Here is a link to a drug checker:

This article as has information:
http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/chromium-000294.htm
with some interaction information

You will want to keep your doctor in the loop, to see if your blood sugar goes down enough to change your metformin doses.

Chromium picolinate is not "bad", the other is just a little better.

Hm... I try to read everything, but there is a lot here. And it is hard to remember everything. I have recently been trying to make a list of things that might be helpful, and this is now going on it: alpha lipoic acid. (or it's more recent conterpart). Thanks for the links. I'm off to do some checking.
