My brother was recently diagnosed with type 2 . I found banaba leaf for him. He is off medaforam, takes 2 400 mg a day of banaba with a good diet. His blood sugar is great.
Banana Leaves extract helps in reducing High Blood Sugar.
I would go with combination of Half teaspoon of banana leaves extract along with half teaspoon Cinnamon. Boil them together, make the tea, after that mix 1 spoon of Apple Cider Vinegar. Taste might not be yummy for new drinkers, but once you developed it, yummy!
Warning: This Combo may bring your sugar level down fast only if you are taking regular diabetes meds.

For Diabetes: Banaba Leaf or Berberine. Sometimes the products will include both. 500mg of Berberine HCI has been really effective for me. It definitely works. Hope this helps.
