[QUOTE="pleinster, post: 1009292, member: 221545"] There are going to be possible side effects with anything...including meds we are prescribed (in fact..especially with meds we are prescribed). Still - possible side effects are certainly worth noting..so thanks for posting concerns and responses. BM is new to me....I have been having a cuppa BM a day for over a week now...first cup appeared to cause quite a drop in BS...not much in evidence since (but I think this is down to timing and also it's early days), and I took my first two capsules today (Swansons) before my main meal.. with a nice reading two hours later. No sings of any palpitations of any sort at this point (and I took them two hours after 80mg of Gliclazide...to see the impact on my level with meds...before I try them without meds. I shall certainly watch our for any signs that worry me. I think I will probably take them to supplement meds if successful rather than replace them (as I first considered)..this is because (unless there are other reasons I am missing - well possible) I don't see the point in depending on one thing rather than another (and my Gliclazide is at least free). That said, I shall draw my conclusions after a bit more experimentation. [/QUOTE]
