Horrible product. Sugar levels went through the roof consistently. It does not work. Make you nauseous dizzy sleepy. Light headed feeling and unable to focus. Stopped taking and all went back to normal. Nothing but snake oil.

I have been a Type 2 Diabetic since 2010, and was keeping my BG somewhat managed with Metformin and Diet, until this year. My numbers shot up to the low 200's, so my physician put me on Glimepiride. My numbers have come back down to the 120's. I haven't gotten an A1C with the drug yet, but hopefully it'll be lower.
