Sure, as a hypogondal pre-diabetic 46 yo male I'm always game to try something which might lower my blood sugars.
Hypoglycaemic and hypolipidaemic effects of emodin and its effect on L-type calcium channels in dyslipidaemic-diabetic rats.
I already consume 50-60g fiber/day (20-30g supplemental) and defecate 3-4 times/day on average. So I am not only not afeared, I may actually try it.
The animal model of diabetes is induced by a dose of streptozotocin which destroys insulin producing cells to model type 1 diabetes. Pre-diabetes, which usually develops into type 2 diabetes, is a failure of insulin sensitivity. tThe results of this study might not be applicable.
