Nancy that is fantastic. So the gymnema works huh? I have not tired it since I was diagnosed prediabetic. I've used it in the past to control hunger but it constipated me. Cajunboy says it had to be something else that was constipating me so I will have to try it again. I've been drinking merlot the past two nights and it hasn't brought my FBG down. The shiraz brought it into the 70's. It's been between 95-100 with the merlot. Coconut oil will bring it down into the low nineties upper eighties so tonight I'll go back to that.
