Interesting question, in summary, both berberine and fiber can contribute to better glucose metabolism. While berberine directly affects insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake thru a critical enzyme AMPK, fiber helps regulate blood sugar levels by slowing down digestion and promoting satiety. Incorporating both into one's diet may offer synergistic benefits.

Good info. BUT the fiber product promoted is psyllium powder. Psyllium slows absorption but it is not a prebiotic. There is no fermentation. This is good if you have sibo but it will not give the prebiotic benefits which were included in the comparison. Other sources such as inulin would be the way to go for that.

My husband has been a diagnosed diabetic since 1991. His blood sugars were controlled until 2021 when he got a bacterial infection that almost killed him. He has been unable to control his blood sugar since then even on the keto diet. Berberine in high doses and dihydroberberine in high doses did not stabilize his blood sugar. If he falls off the keto wagon (because we travel a lot and he gives into temptation to have a piece of toast!), his blood sugar skyrockets. Once he has regained his keto "legs" again, he still experiences spiking blood sugar levels. Fiber seems to be more effective for him than any form of berberine but fiber is not enough for his problem. He is now taking 750 XR Metformin 3 times a day. I recently purchased Curalin in the hopes this will help his problem.

I found my blood sugar was running over 100 to maybe 140 all during the day, fasting only about 104-110 and still having the symptoms. I did the blood tests and my fasting was 103 and A1c 5.5, she said it's fine. But I still have the symptoms and I can tell its when I have elevated numbers even though they are not very high. I guess I'm asking is this normal? I am now going to start with the fiber, I am a plant based vegan ( had changed to white rice (the family prefers and I have been doing less tofu and beans) anyway I have had several bladder infections in the last 6 months and took several antibiotics to clear them up, fingers crossed that is over.

I don't know if it does or not, so I go on the assumption that it does and try to time my fiber intake before lunch and later in the evening, often missing doses because of what's going on at those times.

Berberine is quite pricey here in South Africa

Interesting to hear that. Thanks for the insight!

Yeah Berberine in South Africa cost $22 dollars for a month supply whilst metformin is only $2.10. Have been using Berberine for ages with no side effects. However 1500mg of Berberine per day will cost me $33 dollars per month, which is a lot in rand terms. Trying metformin and so far no side effect. So is metformin safe to use?

@@ajm1162 I've heard *some* studies found a negative cardio-exercise effect from metformin. That said, I've taken extended release version for years. Effective for blood glucose control, but causes me diarrhea.

If Berberrine does not work for you switch to Ceylon Cinnamon.

people average 16 to 17 grams of fiber per day?!?! Like wow! If that doesn't indicate a poor diet I don't know what would. Should be getting at least 20 grams per 1,000 calories and that should be from food, not supplements. No wonder why some people are in such poor health.
