Default Sucanon-a new diabetes supplement

Sucanon has been approved in Mexico and Peru for
diabetes treatment.It is called an "insulin sensitizer".
Might be a less expensive alternative to avandia,actos.
Supposedly no chance for cardiovascular problems.
Price is moderate if 3 month supply is ordered.
I am going to order a 1 month supply and will report
results.Sucanon website:www.sucanonhealth.com
Cheers
Eddie

Thanks I will take a look at it too.

I have been having terrific success lately with Januvia and Metformin.

I am constantly getting readings now below 100 and many times right at 85.

But, it is always good to look at other new meds.

I need to compare it to Januvia.

If it works for you,no need to fix it.
Wish I could afford Januvia.
Metformin and glyburide work pretty good for
me but I don't like the extra insulin release that glyburide causes.Glyburide,like all sufylonylureas,supposedly causes weight gain but I've actually lost 15 pounds in the last couple of months. I thought about getting
generic Avandia(rosiglitazone) from Canada(about 50 dollars for a months supply)
but the Avandia cardiovascular scare has me a
little leery of that one.
And so it goes...

Hello Eddie,
A bit leery about this one. There is very little explanation by which mechanism it works, so I found this site if anyone is interested.
http://www.sucanon.info/QA.html
For something that just improves insulin sensitivity, I imagine metformin is cheaper and safer option, at least, it is a well known medication with very well documented side effects.
The cost is $98 for a month supply, almost as expensive as Byetta and Januvia.
Here is more information from BIotech HOlding LTD on the product:

Does anyone know what is manitomolybdenum complex? Must curious.

I bought Sucanon from Biotechltd website.
They manufacture the core components of Sucanon in Canada and the product is tableted and packaged in Mexico.
Sucanon only averages about 50 dollars per
month if you buy in 3 month quantity.I don't
think Metformin has any effect on insulin sensitivity-it hasn't altered mine in about 4
months of use.To me,Metformin has a fairly
minimal effect.For other people,it might work
better.If it works,Sucanon may be a safer med than Avandia or Actos.Those meds also only
affect insulin sensitivity but insulin sensitivity
is usually the root of type 2 diabetic problems.
I'll post results when I use Sucanonon for a month.
Bye for now
Eddie

Been taking this stuff for 11 days-no obvious
results yet.I'll take it for a month and write it off
as one more thing that didn't work if I don't see
results.
Cheers
Eddie
