oooh look at those lovely fours you get, wish I could do that, well done! If you continue getting those consistently you might get a sub 5 HbA1c which would really freak your doc out. :lol:
Banaba trial update. Swapped off the Bitter Melon onto the Banaba. Taking 4 caps in the morning and 4 at night so an equivelent dose of 24mg / day of corosolic acid.
My averages this week 5.0, 5.3 (included an Indian), 5.2 (included a high carb mothers day tea), 5.2, 5.4 (included that I forgot to take all my dinner time meds [Met,BM & BAN] until I did my two hour reading!), 5.2, 5.1. Max 2 hour readings were 6.1's for the Indian, the mothers day tea and on the night I forgot to take anything. On the night I forgot only had a 28g carb dinner and doubled what I would normally spike at.
So from this I'm concluding it behaves very similar to Bitter Melon. Not a lot off fasting levels but good spike control.
More BM has arrived so will be doing a combo from now on.
Still researching this new Gymnema stuff. From what I read its supposed to be the most powerful of all the "natural" ones. Will let you all know what I find.
