My advice to you is to stick to the real meds. Diabetes is a complicated
illness and herbs just don't help. Watching your carb intake, testing
regularly, exercising, and taking your real meds, are your best bets.


I agree. About two years ago, I tried just about every herb
combination of herbs I could think of that supposedly were of benefit
to diabetics. In the end, I concluded that they were for the most part
a complete waste of money. The best thing to do is stick with diet,
exercise, and the meds your doctor prescribes.

Gymnema sylvestre was among the ones I tried. The results were
negligible.
