Comment:
The use of 400mg berberine 2X daily is just as effective, if not more so, of 500mg Metformin 2X daily to control my blood glucose level. I am type 2 diabetic. My fasting glucose runs consistently between 100-110 and I am on no special diet.

Comment:
Rather than insulin, I started using berberine and salacia oblonga 500 mg 3 times a day before meals. My blood sugar dropped significantly but wanted to see A1C results before commenting here. In 90 days, AIC went from 11 to 6.8. Dr says to keep at it, she is pleased. Beats 4 shots of insulin daily which was initial prescription.

Comment:
Berberine says it helps maintain a healthy blood sugar lever. It does not say it lowers blood sugar. I has done nothing for me and I am taking 900MG a day
