My dad has had type 2 diabetes for 15 years since he was 45 and also had bypass surgery. He's been on insulin all this time. I came across BGR34 tablets, which claim to be approved by the Indian government and developed by CSIR and NBRI labs. Is this medicine legit? Has it been proven to control blood sugar levels effectively? And is it safe for someone like my dad who's already on insulin?

BGR34 is an Ayurvedic formulation with limited scientific validation‚Äîsafe if taken with insulin but not a replacement.
