With diabetes in my family I began using it in my 40s when my blood sugar started creeping up. Brought it right down. It is is well known and utilized here in the US by those familiar with herbal medicine.

As mentioned above, diet exercise and a healthy life style are a must for controlling blood sugar

WARNING: now that I have said that in no way am I saying diabetics should go off their insulin!
