Supplements for Diabetes?

Q: Supplements for Diabetes?
I'm a type-2 diabetic who controls my condition with diet alone. I've heard that ginseng can help control diabetes. Is it worth a try?

If you're interested in a botanical remedy to lower blood sugar levels, I would recommend extract of Asian bitter melon (Momordica charantia) instead of ginseng. Two other herbal remedies you might try are ayurvedic gurmar (Gymnema sylvestre) and prickly-pear cactus (Opuntia spp). You can find these remedies at your natural-food store or through large mail-order or online supplement retailers; follow package directions. Read more...
