Fenugreek or goat's rue can lower blood sugar from increased sensitivity to insulin. I don't know for sure, but due to similarity to those two I could guess that wild yam and shatavari would also lower blood sugar.
Soy isoflavones, PM or red clover taken together would fight it out and you'd get something part way in between. Soy and red clover are weak but more gentle, PM is strong but harsh. Simpler to pick only one.
Make sure the saw palmetto is an extract or it won't be concentrated enough to do much. NOW makes a good one, for example.
HGH studies use around 5,000-6,000 mg L-arginine. 1,000 mg is unlikely to be significant compared to what you already get from eating protein.
Maca has zero effect at 1500 mg and below. Most studies use 3,000 mg but the sky is the limit.
Due to your health issues you should eat way more seeds such as whole grains, nuts and beans. The best ones are brown rice (huge amount) and sunflower seeds (a handful). A little bit of sunchokes, a root vegetable, could help too. Or you could get related health foods like wheat germ, rice bran and nutritional yeast. Studies link whole grains to reduced diabetes and hypoglycemia, among many many other benefits. Sunflower seeds and sunchokes help in other related ways. A multi-B would be more complete than a multivitamin for these B vitamin nutrients, but it's still not as complete as real food.
