When I get hypoglycemia I don't get that "excess severe hunger" for sugars.. its T3 what does that to me.. so I'd suspect the excess iodine.
The hypoglycemia just makes me very tired.. and blank out ..or crash.. blurry vision and things a bit woozy kinda stuff.. no hunger.
But we're all different :-)One way its bad for the thyroid is it is thought it possibly might stimulate or cause autoimmune thyroid disease. Excess iodine is not something to really safely take.. even in the form of kelp(one of the best and most natural ways).
I've got a bottle of Chromium Glucose tolerance Factor here I bought a few years ago.. so its a bit old.. but it didn't seem to induce any of that "starving so can't think of anything but sugar..and sugar is like a fix.. but doesn't last
long" feeling
I've no idea what the "other part" is to the chromium in this.
It doesn't have to state on Ausse brands.. and sometimes its impossible to find out. I don't think its picolinate though, sope not:). I don't see any point in taking a form like picolinate when there's a question mark over its safety either.

http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20031010/msgs/268617.htmlI've recently tried just adding in 1 mcg of T3 a day and reducing the THYROID by similar.. and this is time released and mixed with T4.. and I STILL get that satrving for sugar feeling.
It doesn't wear off(adaption ) as others report it does with them.. sighBeen trying to wean off T4/Thyroid (Armour) and onto T4/T3 as its probably a safer combo wrt antibody stimulation.
Anyway just trying too say the iodine could be causing this "starving for sugar craving" via the iodine ..as Jlx says...
I've never heard of chromium causing that feeling?
