dc.description.abstract"Background: Although the functions of most nutrients are well known and recognized, the function of trace minerals like chromium, are not as well understood. This trace mineral has often been called the 'Glucose Tolerance Factor' due to its claimed effect of lowering blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetic patients by increasing insulin sensitivity. I conducted a systemic review to evaluate the reliability of these claims and to identify the mechanism, effect, and (possible) benefits of chromium for type 2 diabetic patients. My goal was to confirm or refute the hypothesis that chromium supplements can be used to prevent or treat type 2 diabetes.en_US
