Gymnema Sylvestre means "sugar destroyer" and is considered an herbal remedy for high blood sugar. For an example of how strong this herb is:
Taken before sugar, the Gymnema molecules blocks the passages through which sugar is normally absorbed, so that fewer sugar calories are assimilated.  The sugar and Gymnema are digested in the small intestine, but the larger molecules of Gymnema can not be fully absorbed.  Try this, for a complete understanding of how this herb works.  Taste a small bit of something that is sweet.  Then take a sip of Gymnema Sylvestre tea, roll it about in your mouth for about 30 seconds.  Then try that same sweet taste.  Astonishing!  Can't taste the sugar!  These molecules fill receptor locations on the taste buds temporarily preventing the taste buds being able to taste any sugar molecule  in the food.  Traditionally it was recommended for stomach problems, constipation, water retention and liver disease although modern research centers  around it use for type II diabetes.

Diabetes
Blood Sugar Control

A high-fat diet causes glucose intolerance and insulin resistance (JAMA 262(3):398-99,1989)

Priorities for an Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM)

1. The patient must consume adequate calories to maintain desirable weight.
2. Meal times and the composition of the diet must be consistent from day to day, with the carbohydrate content fairly evenly divided from meal to meal.
3. Simple carbohydrates must be limited to 10% to 15% of total calories.
4. Depending upon the insulin regimen, a bedtime snack may help prevent nocturnal hypoglycemia; midmorning and mid-afternoon snacks must be taken if needed, to match the food intake to the peak insulin action.
5. Food must be taken to correct hypoglycemic episodes.
6. Food and fluids must be taken for periods of increased physical activity and during illness.
Non–Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM): This can be controlled by diet, and it is not as important to be consistent with timing of meals and carbohydrate.

The American Diabetes Association recommends that 12% to 20% of all calories be protein, 20% to 30% of all calories be fat and 55% to 60% of calories be carbohydrate. The amount of protein in the diet meets or exceeds the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of 0.8 g/kg of body weight. The percentage of calories from protein may be as much as 20% in diets of 1200 calories or less and may decrease to 12% at higher caloric levels. There is no advantage to a high protein diet, in fact diabetics are vulnerable to renal complications. For the person who has only a slight elevation of creatine levels, it is prudent to keep the protein level at approximately the RDA. Reduction of fat intake is recommended because of the high incidence of arteriosclerosis. Cholesterol consumption should be less than 300 mg/day.
