I really think the blood sugar effects are not to be depended on.
I don't get that effect at all...but I do with theanine. I test daily.
The blood sugar warning is only a vague possibility. If it were a strong effect, we'd see this used as a treatment adjunct. And we do not see it promoted for that as a bona fide treatment.
The warnings for it mostly pertain to those using insulin for some reason.
I don't think one should "depend" on sugar lowering. It may not happen for you. Lipoic acid does improve mitochondrial functions. It is in the product Juvenon for that reason.
This article lists some of the suggested medical studies done on it so far:
