Chromium is NOT bad for diabetic patients. In fact, Chromium supplements upto 1000 mcg per day has been found to be helpful in controlling blood sugar levels.
Chromium supplementation is most important for people with Diabetes. Many subjects with type 2 diabetes have faulty chromium metabolism, due to inadequate intake, decreased absorption and increased loss. Current data show a strong correlation between diabetes and low levels of chromium in serum, hair, and toenail tissues. For these reasons, chromium supplementation on the order of 1000 mcg per day has been recommended to provide significant clinical benefit in diabetes. The dose for non-diabetic individuals is in the range of 200-500 mcg per day.
Chromium picolinate has also been shown to be safe in humans at the prescribed doses. A recent study showed that Cr-P does not induce toxicity (i.e., chromosomal damage) at doses up to 2000 mg per kilogram of body weight (Komorowski et al., 2008), which is close to 50,000 times the dose recommended for diabetes subjects. The FDA has also recently affirmed Cr-P safety.
No other chromium supplement shows the consistent benefits that Cr-P does, especially at higher doses for subjects with diabetes. Considering its compelling safety profile, Cr-P is an inexpensive and uniquely efficacious supplement to help control the high cost of diabetes treatment. It makes no sense to toy with chromium supplements that have limited research support when the stakes are so high

There are no specific vitamins that help diabetes, of course it's always good insurance to take a multivitamin everyday. There is one mineral called chromium, that for some people it does help their blood sugar control, but it only helps if you are deficient in chromium and most people are not if they eat a healthy diet. But you can find chromium in things like wheat bran or brewer's yeast and in potatoes and meat and grains. But usually this isn't a problem and a multivitamin doesn't really affect diabetes.
