Tom,
I am also diabetic and have found 800 mcg. of chromium picolinate to be
immensely helpful in controlling my blood glucose levels.  In conjunction
with carbo counting, I have dropped my blood glucose 60-70 points in the
last 2 weeks.  I have also been able to discontinue my medication.  My
sister, who is on insulin, won't take more than 200 mcg.  a day...her
doctor doesn't think it will make a difference but has told her to go ahead
and take one of the ma huang supplements....aaaagggghhhh.  What is the
matter with our medical establishment?  Anyway, I am very interested in
learning all about supplementing horses with this stuff...where could one
find it in doses large enough to make a difference with horses?  The
largest pills I can find are 400 mcg.  Also, isn't it something that should
be a daily supplement, not just given at rides?   Thanks.
