I took this product together with Sugar Flow Tea for two weeks, and my glycosylated hemoglobin dropped from 6.7 to 6.2, and triglyceride fat also decreased. I continued to take it for more than two months, and my weight dropped by six pounds. I don't know if it is effective for everyone, but it is effective for me. I will continue to try it for a while until my next physical examination.
