Gestational diabetes is very common. Taking insulin is one way of contolling it. Chromium Polynicolinate does have blood sugar normalization effects. The intake required varies from person to person, and ranges generally from 200-1200 mcg. Lipoic acid is an universal antioxidant and has been shown in some studies to improve poor circulation due to diabetic neuropathy. The amount given is usually much higher than 100 mg. Since you are pregnant, it is critical for you to follow the advice of your OB/GYN doctor. Supplementation for theraputic effect normally requires much higher dose than that recommended for general well-being. While the level of chromium and lipoic acid you are taking is quite acceptable for general well-being, the fact that you are a gestational diabetic may alter what is normally recommended.
