Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 IMHO the " Carb Blocker " pills are just a scam to separate us from our $$$$. If you notice they are herbal supplements which the US FDA does not regulate. If it was sor good the major drug companies would have it. I have found some herbal stuff really plays heck with my glucose levels. Vern Catron www.history-buff.org Meddle ye not in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with ketchup. Carb " blockers " SNIP I strongly doubt it will work, but if it does, it might be helpful to have on hand for occasional use. My only concern is that if it *does* work, we have to see if it interfers with absorption of medications -- not necessarily for diabetes, but I take several other things for various conditions.

I am not a fan of the FDA, so that's not a deterrent to me, LOL! >If it was sor good the major drug companies would have it. I have found >some herbal stuff really plays heck with my glucose levels. Maybe. On the other hand, there are times when the major drug companies pick up herbal supplements and alternative therapies after there has been some market interest in the product.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 I would suggest finding a naturopath, often available at health food stores. They are more familiar with the science behind natural treatments. Debi > Have asked three.
