Database of diabetes herbs

ProGene Bio, an Indian company, has put together lots of recent research on medicinal plants used in diabetes and the management of blood sugar. The database is extensive, covering over 380 botanical species, but is a bit difficult to navigate unless you know the exact Latin binomial of the plant you're looking for. Nevertheless, browsing is always an option, and if you are looking for "scientific evidence" of an herb's use in diabetes control, this option might be a bit easier than a straight PubMed search...
(see Cinnamon, for example).
