Abstract

This research aims to identify the level of efficiency in the use of chromium in glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The research is documentary in nature and the results obtained conclude that dosing in smaller quantities results in greater benefits than macro doses of chromium in these patients.
