Gymnema Sylvestre?

They say G.S. is supposed to reduce sugar cravings and increase insulin levels. I was wondering if anyone is using G.S. for controlling insulin, does it work for you, and when do you take it. I hear it is good to take before bed to boost insulin levels while you sleep.

ive never used it but know that it may lower your blood sugar levels and blocks intestinal absorption of sugar which may help you lose weight...personally, i have never wanted to get into anything like slin or even this that could have anykind of hypoglycemic effect on my body...do you have any insulin problem of any kind?

I do not have any insulin problems. I am interested in controlling my insulin levels in order to keep my body in an anabolic (muscle growing) state, instead of having it slip into a catabolic (muscle burning) state that tends to happen during fasting. I read that controlling insulin levels is important for maximizing these anabolic affects. I though that G.S. might be a good way of controlling these levels, but I am still doing research.
