Tuesday 7/10/2007 Diabetes Herb

A new study shows that an Ayurvedic herb is very effective for type 2 diabetes.  The herb, Salacia Oblonga, was found to lower blood sugar by 27% after a meal!  The researchers analyzed the effect of the herb on 66 individuals with type 2 diabetes who either consumed a high carbohydrate meal with or without the herb.  The results were consistent with 2 prior studies that found the herb to be effective.

People in the study had the best results with 480mg of Salacia Oblonga extract. 

This herb can be added to my "standard plan" for type 2 diabetics, which includes gymnema sylvestra extract (purchased here) and 3 grams of omega-3's from a quality fish oil (purchased in my store).
