An associate professor at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center,
Wendell Winters, and Chinese colleagues Huo Yo Shu and Lo Su Jen have
developed a herbal product that appears to keep blood sugar levels within
normal bounds, even when subjects consume diets high in refined
carbohydrates. There appear to be no unpleasant side effects.

<<Sugar imbalance and diabetes treating herbal formulation
Abstract
An herbal formulation is disclosed for treating and preventing non-insulin
dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and other sugar imbalances. The herbal
formulation is added to the diet of a person suffering from NIDDM in a
lectin mixture containing the herbal formulation. The herbal formulation
lowers the blood glucose and insulin levels. Adding the herbal formulation
to the diet of persons who are in high risk of suffering from NIDDM has a
significant effect on lowering blood glucose and insulin levels. Repeated
doses of the herbal formulation in a lectin mixture will bring the blood
glucose and insulin levels into a desired range. The herbal formulation is
made from plant extracts and is useful in the prevention and treatment of
sugar imbalances. >>
As far as I know, the product isn't yet being generally marketed, but if
anyone is interested in getting some, a local company (New Braunfels, Texas)
is manufacturing limited quantities. Anyone interested can contact me
offlist for more info.
