There are hundreds of Chinese herbs that have been touted to have anti diabetic properties. In fact, millions of Chinese do take these herbs and claim that these substances do wonders for their health. In addition, there are many articles in Chinese medical literature attesting to the fact these herbs do have decent sugar lowering ability. While it is true that some Chinese herbs do have the ability to lower blood sugars, the health supplement market is poorly regulated. Even the same herb in a different store has different ingredients and quality. Moreover, the same herb is sold under many different names and this makes the topic very confusing.
Diabetes is not a medical disorder you want to fool around with, as it has devastating complications. The longer you delay your blood sugar control, the greater the chance you will develop complications. So until the Chinese pharmaceutical industry comes with more evidence about their herbs and avoids the problems with fakes/counterfeit products, you are better off taking what your doctor ordered. In the meantime, if you really want to get rid of your type 2 diabetes, exercise regularly.
