Supposedly helps lower blood sugar, high blood pressure and cholesterol. I am checking it with with one of my nurse sisters since she is the charge nurse out of the bunch. I do have serious doubts about anything that claims to treat a lot of stuff but will report back what I find out.

That is to bad. How long have you been taking Berberine? Asking in case it is one of those that takes time to build up in your blood stream. So far I can not find any real studies showing it works but will keep looking and let you know if my sister knows anything. She is diabetic too, also a cancer survivor. You would think a RN would know how to take care of herself better.

Alpha Lipoic Acid is also supposed to help with diabetes and can help with the diabetic neuropathy. https://amzn.to/2TrbrBw is enough for 3 months when taken once a day

Glucomannan is something else that can help with diabetes sugar levels and weight loss when taken with good amounts of water. https://amzn.to/2WxiytQ is enough for almost 3 months when taken 3 times a day before meals.
