Hi, just wondering if anyone has heard of these? Or had any experience with them?. Apparently they're ment to lower your blood sugar but not sure if it's the real thing or just a scam?

Any info on these would be great

Thanks 🙂
 
Snake oil - if it worked, we'd all be using it. :(

Welcome to the forum 🙂 Any reason why you're considering this - are you on any medication currently?
 
Hello, thanks

My wife found it online and it sounded good :( guess not.

Yes I'm on metformin at the moment. Only got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a month ago so still trying to get to grips with it
 
Unfortunately, there's an awful lot of stuff around that sounds good - diabetes is a big business worldwide and some of the places selling stuff can be pretty slick and convincing.

I'd suggest having a browse through our 'Useful Links' thread for some good information to help you understand diabetes and how to manage it well. Particularly recommended are Jennifer's Advice and Maggie Davey's letter, and Type 2 Diabetes: The First Year by Gretchen Becker 🙂

Please feel free to ask any questions - nothing is considered 'silly' and we'll try our best to help out! 🙂
