    I have moderate Diabetes - high numbers in the morning - but now that I take one capsule of gymnema sylvestri at night, my numbers stay below 115 in mornings WITH ABSOLUTEY NO SIDE EFFECTS!! Other medications had awful and dire side effects that were just as bad as my diabetes. I recommend it highly!
