Hi Dr. Been taking metformin for the past 14 years. I lost 14 lbs the first couple months. Have my kidneys check every year. Never have any problems. Thanks for the information.

[@SugarMDs]

@lyndap.3701, thanks for sharing! It's great that you're being proactive with your health and your checks. Keep up the good work!

[@tonycardall7334]

I took metformin for 3 months and had alot of negative side effects so stopped taking it. 3 years later I've ever taken berberine with each meal and every year my blood sugar has been 5.2, 5 and 5. I do low carb and cycle a 20 mile commute round trip every day to work.

Hello @tonycardall7334, thank you for sharing your experience. Remember to keep monitoring your blood sugar and working closely with your healthcare team. Don't forget to share this video so we can reach more people. Keep up the great work!

I remember when I was prescribed Metformin because from that time on I kept packing on the pounds, even with a major dietary adjustment. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I also had a lot of weird side effects from it. I took myself off of it after 4 years of trying to keep the weight down and tired of feeling foggy and sleepy all the time. Soon after the weight starting dropping off of me and I'm still losing. I'm also on a keto diet but that's my personal choice. It helps me to not have cravings for carbs and sweets like I was before while I was on metformin. I'm feeling so much better and a lot more energy. I'm not advising anyone to do what I did because that was my own choice. I just felt something inside telling me what I needed to do for me, but I am much healthier now and actually excited to see my doctor at the end of the month and get all my results. Last time I was in she told me to keep doing whatever it is I'm doing because it's definitely working.

[@SweetChicagoGator]

Maybe why I feel foggy & sleepy because of metformin? I also take triglycerides medicine, gemfibrozil and Raspustatin. A1C is 6.7.

Creatin (kidney) below 30 Make sure it doesn't get below 30. Vitamin B12 Dihydero-berberine Thank you for another great video. I watch them when I can

[@blisterbill8477]

I am type 2 . By taking metformin, I reduce my average glucose by 20% and cut my glucose swings (low to high) in half. I also reduce my 24 hour insulin by 20% and my fast acting by about 75%. It reduces my appetite, anxiety and helps me sleep. Metformin isn’t for everyone, but it’s a good fit for me.

[@Solo-_-..]

Good to hear.. If you are type 2.. why insulin? Just diet doesnt work for you?

[@SugarMDs]

@blisterbill8477, thanks for sharing your personal experience: it definitely might comfort others reading this thread. Keep tuned for more videos and tips!

[@frankyvee1]

Type 2 diabetic and I have been taking Metformin 500mg twice a day for 5 years now and it's working for me. Lost close to 30 lbs initially and maintaining it. No issues with my kidneys my last eGFR labs was 86. My last H1AC 5.9. My total cholesterol 156, LDL 86, HDL 46. I also eat mainly protein and fats very low carb and no sugar. I also alternate fasting to keep my body from getting use to it.

[@SugarMDs]

@frankyvee1, I'm glad you're finding success with your regimen! Keep it up 👍 Remember, everyone's body response differently so it's crucial to keep checking with your healthcare team.

[@EricFinkelstein4851]

Good day Dr. Ergin, I have been inspired by your content regarding Diabetes. In fact, I decided to reduce my Metformin by supplementing with Berberine. I have been able to drop from 4 Metformin a day to two and am taking Berberine two times a day. This has been very promising, up until February of this year. Suddenly, my glucose readings have gone up from an average of 5.6 mmol/L to 6.7. I still am convinced that Berbernine can keep me on my mission of maintaining 5.6 or lower, but I fear that the type of Berberine I am taking (Nutrali - 1000MG) doesn't have the powerhouse combination of elements as your product. The sad news is, I can't order from your website as I live in Ontario, Canada. Do you have any suggestions on a product that comes close to yours that will help? I appreciate you for all the great information and look forward to your further videos. Regards, Eric

Hi Doc. Told my Doctor about Berberine, she said she never heard of it, I am on 25 mg of Jardiance per day, my blood sugar is a bit high, i would like you to tell me how to go about taking Berberine or Super Berberine with Jardiance and how much and how often. Thank you in advance

My dr added Glimpiride to my metformin and for the first time my sugar went to low.

[@Erin-Thor]

Did you mean glyburide?

[@AllieWhitt1959]

No ...Glimpiride...as I have been prescribed both of these too 😮

[@SugarMDs]

Hi @gloriayouchisonbrown7734, glad to hear your sugars are dropping. But too low can be risky. Please discuss with your doctor. Stay safe!

[@gloriayouchisonbrown7734]

I spelled it as written on bottle , maybe it is a derivative of glyburide

Pharmacists are rarely familiar with supplementation.

At the end of the day, whatever you decide to choose to do, addreesing the root cause and changing your lifestyle and dietary habbits is the key. Simply relying on any drug or supplment is not enough on its own and you will liekly develop diabeties complications as long as you remain a diabetic

[@SugarMDs]

@MrMcfire2, absolutely agree with you😊. Lifestyle and dietary changes are vital! Stay tuned for more videos and discussions on this topic.

What’s the difference between your super berberine and your 1200mg want to make sure I order the right one

[@SugarMDs]

Hi @Dream-mq4nj, in essence, Super Berberine includes Dihydroberberine and additional ingredients such as concentrated Ceylon Cinnamon for an enhanced effect, while our standard 1200mg is pure Berberine only. Visit our website for more detailed info. Thanks for commenting!

[@franrushie.510]

I don’t like any medication

[@Erin-Thor]

Sometimes you have to, as the benefits outweigh the risks.

[@SugarMDs]

@franrushie.510, you're not alone; many people hesitate to take meds. The best way to manage diabetes can be through diet & exercise. But, if medicine is necessary, it's crucial to take it. Let's beat diabetes together! Check sugarmds.com for holistic remedies.
