There are other plants and plant extracts that have little side effects and have been shown to mildly lower blood sugar. They include green tea, acacia extract, hops, bitter melon, and nopales cactus. [2013] - Joel Fuhrman

There are a few banks out there that offer PLCs (personal line of credit) you may choose to avoid. Here's what to watch out for: a. The bank requires a minimum monthly payment on a secured PLC, made up of a combination of the interest and some principal. A common amount for these payments is 3% of the outstanding balance (as opposed to interest only, which is usually less than 1% per month) . b. The PLC has an annual or monthly fee. c. The bank makes you re-apply for the PLC or package service each year. d. The bank places the PLC interest rate on their "personal loan base rate" (or some other fancy name) which is 0.5% or more above prime. You may think you're getting a prime plus 2% rate, when in fact you're being charged prime plus 2.5%, or even more. [2009] - Don R. Campbell
