Can herbs and supplements really help manage diabetes, or are many of the claims simply too good to be true?

In this episode of Endocrine Echo Lounge, endocrinologist Dr. Henry takes an evidence-based look at some of the most popular natural remedies for diabetes and blood sugar control. You'll learn what current research says about berberine, psyllium fiber, cinnamon, cerasee (bitter melon), fenugreek (methi), apple cider vinegar, turmeric (curcumin), magnesium, vitamin D, alpha-lipoic acid, probiotics, and chromium.
