Has anyone ever tried Phyllanthus emblica (Indian Gooseberry; Amia) for its effects on BS?

Seen some intriguing allegations regarding the ability of this fruit to control/influence BS levels - anybody got any direct experience?

Thanks

Hmm interesting. I'd give it a go. Where can I buy them
 
I'm trying it at the moment. Definitely seems to make a difference. But early days in my experiment and will have to wait to see if it pans out longer term.

The brand I'm taking is "Herbs of Gold" and it is sold as "Reflux Relief" (the original reason I started taking it, then I noticed the change in BG) - it contains 8.25g of phyllanthus emblica (amla) and 1.6g of gycyrrhiza glabra (licorice).

I've also seen a supplement online of just the amla - brand is "Paradise Herbs" 250mg caps labelled Amla, pure Ayurvedic extract.
 
Thanks for the info.
I going to order those
