I guess you don't read all the posts at PN? We talk about r-lipoic all the time. It is the new improved version of alpha lipoic acid, which is used for PN, and has been for years.
Here is a link to a drug checker: http://www.drugdigest.org/wps/portal...zdGVwL2luZGV4/ 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.

It seems like the Chromium might just lower blood sugar a little. Which is ok. I'll ask the Dr. when I see him. I couldn't find any other interactions.
