Question 1

is diabecom medicine good for controlling & normalize diabetes?

Accepted Answer

Be very careful: I have not persoanlly recommended it but I have patients who have decided to take it themselves. There are some published papers  from india, but these are of low quality. Diabecon has not gone through fda monitoring, and could be dangerous or contaminated. Some 'natural' products have been found to cause serious injury:(http://online.Liebertpub.Com/doi/abs/10.1089/acm.1998.4.1-9.
