New with a question

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

 

I'm new to this group and to herbs in general. I'm diabetic and

have fertility issues. I am currently taking glucophage, amaryl and

seasonale. I read recently that oolong tea helps regulate blood

sugar. What I have been unable to find is how much to drink daily

and whether or not artificial sweetners (Splenda) change the

effectiveness of the tea. Does anyone have any more information or

experience with oolong tea? Thanx in advance.

I can't recommend a dosage. However, as far as a

sweetner is concerned, I would switch to stevia or

something else a little more natural.

 

Depending on where you live in CT there are a number

of good health food stores around that carry it.

 

cheers

Thanx JL

I'm in Bloomfield, CT. I've never heard of Stevia. I guess I've

got some research to do.
