I am trying to find an alternative to prescription drugs ( Metformin) to control my blood sugar. Any suggestions?
I can’t take it either.. I’m also in kidney failure, so I can’t take most of the other pills either. I’ve never heard of berberine, so I can’t say anything for or against it!!!
I can't use metformin either. My Dr suggested the Bydureon pen. Depending on your insurance, it can be a bit pricey. But I am doing very well on it. I only have to check my sugars once a day now. Averaging around 115 after a meal! It's worth a try. Talk to your Dr. Don't be afraid to ask questions.
ValMachedo How long have you been taking Berberine? How much did it drop your a1c and blood sugar. Has your doctor told you about any medication interactions to avoid?
