Alternative medicine for type 2 diabetes

Medical Journal Club article for June 2009:

Complementary and alternative medicine for the treatment of type 2 diabetes | Canadian Family Physician Journal -

“Chromium, and possibly gymnema, appears to improve glycemic control. Fibre, green tea, and fenugreek have other benefits but there is little evidence that they substantially improve glycemic control. Further research on bitter melon and cinnamon is warranted. There is no complementary and alternative medicine research addressing microvascular or macrovascular clinical outcomes.”

QUALITY OF EVIDENCE?
