Comment:
Ran 3 month trials on myself, alternating 100 mg pycnogenol/day and 0 pycnogenol. Trials using pycnogenol lowered A1c by an average of 0.5 (avg. 6.8 without to 6.2 with). Took 1,000mg metformin twice/day and 5mg glipizide during all trials. I know there are other benefits and no one thinks I look 70!

H1AC was 6.5 - 6.8 before, 6.0 - 6.1 after 6 months. Tried cheap version of pine bark and H1AC went back to 6.7. I am back on Pycnogenol again.
