please read this article, where it is said that diacerein works also in lowering HbA1c and then I looked the medicine up and found that this substance is naturally found in Aloe vera plant...

has any of you tried to take aloe vera plant extract while you being diabetic.. ?
I dont know how high levels of diacerein there is in aloe vera but maybe worth a try.. ???

I have been through a period of taking Aloe Vera juice but I assumed my good BG control was down to low carb. Low carb hasn't been working so well recently and I have had to resort to very low calorie, almost a la Newcastle and cutting out lots of protein.

I have one litre of Aloe Vera juice in the fridge which is still in date (£20 a litre) so when my FS Libre sensors turn up on Saturday I'll monitor for a few days, maybe longer and then take the Aloe Vera to see if there's a difference. Interesting little experiment!

yes please report in here ... I have always been suspicious towards the aloe vera hype, but now maybe I could be covinced of its value

Aloe Vera. Not sure of its affect on BS control. Without doubt it is a brilliant piece of nature, we have a few plants solely for use on cuts, burns, bites and stings.
Wife has in the past drank the juice for IBS with great results.
Every house should have a Aloe Vera plant. :)

Please don't hesitate to remind me, my plan is to start using the FS Libre for a week to get a measure of what's going on and then start to drink the Aloe Vera. HID will be delighted that I've got rid of the 1 litre bottle that she says is taking up fridge space.

Interesting- I always keep a bottle in the fridge in case my IBS flares up......I will suggest this to Hubby, for certain Aloe vera is a powerful medicinal plant so who Knows. Has to be worth a try though :)
