Basically it does exactly what metformin does only without the side effects. Also has further benefits metformin doesn't. Big pharma does not want you knowing this. Non for profit medical system countrues regularly prescribe berbebrine not metformin etc.

Berberine and other natural herbs did NOTHING to lower my blood sugar, all the stuff did was make me VERY SICK!! Like go to the ER and have pancreatitis!! I thought I was going to die! Be careful what you take.

I have used Berberine, and Berberine GlucoGold for six years, I saw the results immediately lowering my A1C to 8.1. I take it three times a day, with meals. I was taking 70 units of Lantis glargine (insulin) twice a day, up until two weeks ago when I stopped. because it brought about low blood sugar.

I saw my A1C drop to 6.1 in April 2019. about three weeks ago I purchased the FreeStyle Libre 14 day constant monitoring system by Abbot, I had a hard time getting the RX from my doctor, but she finally relented. One needs this device if they are serious about getting rid of diabetes 2, you know what your blood sugar is constantly, by checking by level. You know what foods to stay away from. According to my graph, and my blood sugar readings, my A1C should be about 5.1. I will keep taking Berberine for awhile, however, I feel that my system is pancreas is being healed.One really needs the Abbott Freestyle system if one is serious about treating diabetes 2.

1 Month ago I was on 1000mg Metformin and 40mg slow release Glipizide. I have fatty liver. I think I have metabolic syndrome. I have had type 2 diabetes for about 13 years. I am 49 years old. My A1C was 10.4 15 months ago. I tried to diet and moderately increase exercise. Only got A1C to 9.4. I was told I had to go on insulin if not reversed. My research introduced me to Chinese source for ... Show Full Comment

1 Month ago I was on 1000mg Metformin and 40mg slow release Glipizide. I have fatty liver. I think I have metabolic syndrome. I have had type 2 diabetes for about 13 years. I am 49 years old. My A1C was 10.4 15 months ago. I tried to diet and moderately increase exercise. Only got A1C to 9.4. I was told I had to go on insulin if not reversed. My research introduced me to Chinese source for herbs. I read about berberine. I found out our NIH has done research as well as other countries. All positive. Rare. My GP does not support. I take 500mg 2 times a day of Berberine abd Turmeric supplement. In 1 month my A1C dropped to 8.4. I had to cut my prescription meds 50% (due to low blood sugar episodes). I am slimming down. I have more energy to exercise. I feel like I have more hope and incentive to improve diet. Less animal fats for me helps - but is very hard to do. Hopefully the berberine can keep working with my body to help my pancrease heal. I have reversed direction of my diabetes. to me a miracle.

Take 3 500mg a day. I'm still on Metformin 1000 2 x a day. Utimately want to be off of the pharma meds by next yesr. Started because my A1C1 was moving higher. I've been using Berberine since May 1st. The BS numbers are lowering, expect my A1C1 will have too. I'm also losing weight, 7 pds as of this AM. With Metformin, that was never possible. Yes have loose bowels, I'll deal ... Show Full Comment

Yes have loose bowels, I'll deal.Can't believe the weight is melting. In my 20's was diagnosed with LOW BS, so watching it carefully.
