Nancy,

D-Care Sugar Blocker (name brand) is gymnema sylvestre combined with Vanadyl Sulfate and it helps me. I'm pretty sure it was your combination that helped the FBG ...

I recently bought a stronger potency of the gymnema sylvestre from Vitacost and it is not a combo, just the gymnema in a capsule at double the strength of my combo gymnema. My combo works better than the gymnema from Vitacost....

So, I too have noticed the combo has a better response, but for me, the response is not as great as what you're getting, but then my carb intake is a lot higher...

Example: We had boiled crawfish and shrimp and grilled catfish and stuffed crabs for lunch, so tonight, I didn't feel like a meal, so I had a fruit salad of pears, plums, nectarine, apples, strawberries.... I suppose I had the equivalent of two apples in terms of volume eaten....
