I would never take that in any form. how can it be good for type 2 diabetes, and if it is, I would venture to say that other things are much better. I'm sorry but I am disgusted and I just wanted to share my view.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Last year when I kept losing weight, my doctor said she would prescribe it for me.
