I have just read an article about Guar Gum being helpful for Type 2 diabetes
This glue-like substance from the seed of the guar plant contains fibres called glucomannans and galactomannans. ‘Guar gum can help slow down the amount of sugars absorbed in the stomach and intestines,’ says Prof Ernst.
‘It is used to treat patients with type 2 diabetes, who are unable to produce enough insulin to cope with sugars.’
I wondered if anyone has tried it. I found a longer article about Guar Gum which said the dose is 4-12 g daily
