Has any one heard or read any reports about orange bergamot and its effect on BGs and BP ?

Hi Carol, I have lost count of the various herbs, spices, and other concoctions that someone or another has found to be helping with BGs.

I have tried a few, but they don't make a lot of difference, some make a very small difference but that may be due to other factors. Some taste so horrible that to take them in any quantity would be difficult.

I believe that the only way to control BGs is by diet (low carb) and excercise. Medication from the doctor works as well, but herbs and spices, not for me!

My all time fave was the Asda Extra Special, but of course they stopped doing it :|

Tea Pigs are good as is the London Tea Co

I like Twinnings, but the absolute best Earl Grey in my opinion is from Whittards. I buy my Earl Grey from there exclusively now. I did have a light bulb moment a few weeks ago re Whittards tea. I used to drink thinks like their Dreamtime and other speciality teas. Other members of the family also drink the teas and hot chocolates. I stopped drinking them after diagnosis, but recently had to stock up again as we were getting low. This time, with a diabetic head on, I automatically checked the carbs, and almost fell off my chair. The speciality teas I used to drink quite a bit of, are 14.5g of carbs per cup. Another way where I can see where my carbs were coming from pre diagnosis.

Have you read about my new pet subject? Green Chai tea? I'm going to shut up now or I will rave again. :lol:
