Metformin VS Berberine

[NightShade]

You're taking 500mg with each meal?

That would be the recommended amount in most cases.

While it's nice to share your experiences, this is far too little information to draw any kind of conclusions. What do your normal sugars run, what other meds are you on, when after breakfast did you check these sugars, what is happening the rest of the day, etc. How long have you been diabetic - or are you indeed diabetic? Or just "pre" or insulin resistance, have you been on other meds, etc., last A1c, what were your sugars previously on or off other meds? And spot checks are nice, but the true measure of effectiveness is longevity and repeatability of results.

Drawing tons of conclusions with a lack of information is what leads to many misunderstandings.

Bye Bye

Hey, you started this whole topic, man. I'm just saying, people want information. Minimal information is often worse than none. As someone who deals with this stuff every single day, I'm interested, but if you just wanna hype it and not have a real discussion and evaluation, well... that's your right.

I've got an open enough mind to do some research, and I've done some, but the bottom line is, there's not much out there.

Wife told me to keep quite for a while. But had a sausage biskit & biskit & gravey & hash round taters. Two hours later B S was 102.

That is not bad at all.
