1 interaction related to chromium picolinate
Chromium has been studied as an insulin sensitizer, and the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements cautions that taking it alongside insulin could increase the risk of low blood sugar. In practice the effect seen in clinical trials is modest and inconsistent, but because insulin is already a potent glucose-lowering drug, it is sensible to anticipate that adding chromium could nudge your blood sugar lower than your dose was set for.
