Hello everyone. I’m new here. My mom has been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. She’d really like to control it with natural supplements (as much as possible). Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hey!

I've been doing a lot of reading lately about natural products and diabetes. Have you heard about taking cinnamon to help control blood sugar levels? Also, herbs that should be helpful are bitter melon, gymnema sylvestra, and guggle. Hope that helps some.

There are many ways to manage that type of Diabetes. Watching what you eat and excersize will do wonders in most cases. Her doctor should be able to discuss plans of action to help control her disease.
