Hi does anyone tried the herbs Bitter Melon and Banaba leaf for diabetes. I'd be interested in any feedback on your experiences.
I was diagnosed with type 2 in Oct 2010. I take Metformin 500 mg 2 X day and 300 mg ALA. as well as vitamins.
I've lost some sensation in my legs and hands. My legs are cold a lot which I find very distressing and occaisional nmbness in my hand. very distressing symptoms.
What really freaks me out is I felt fine and able to walk in Sept 2010. But after my diagnosis on Oct 6 2010, I've gone downhill very rapidly. I've lost muscle tone in my legs, gotten very weak. I'd had the "tingling in my legs" the first weks I was on Metformin. I couldn't figure out if the weakness was due to high sugar or the metformin. I don't have the tingling any more but my doctor thinks I may have sufferes some neuropathy. How could all this have happened in 12 weeks ?It's very distressing. thanks
