How Berberine Helps Manage Type 2 Diabetes

[@oldschool8292]

I just hung up from taking to my son about his type 2 diabetes and how it's continuing to get worse. Thank you so much Dr Been.

A metabolically healthy female, I have been taking berberine (as a weak PCSK-9 inhibitor and because it encourages autophagy). At the same time I have been perplexed by the fact that whenever I do a five-day fast, my blood sugar drops into the hypoglycemic range. Your overview tells me that BBR may be the culprit because it impedes gluconeogenesis. So a week before a longer fast it's a good idea to stop taking it. Thank you for giving me that insight. This was a great overview. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

How low is low because hypothermia is sometimes relative. I’ve been in my 60ties bs with no problems.

Thank you so much for your videos. I love them because they discuss mechanisms. I have one concern, at 21:14 in this video you state that the berberine inhibits the electron transport chain and thus reduces the effectiveness of the mitochondria. Did I understand that correctly? How can that be good for us aging people that are always fighting diminished mitochondria effectiveness? One of the side effects that I have seen reported and may have experienced myself is muscle aches. Could that be due to loss of mitochondria effectiveness?

Possible a lower body temperature leads to a higher body temperature and inflammation in damage done from localized temperature deregulation, a fever being immune mechanism or a deregulation in the autonomic functions and inhibiting diffusion in a power saving mode

Leukemia? Berberine can cause Leukemia. There is a 2013 study linking it to DNA damage. Causing chromosomal translocation which is what caused my CML. I took Berberine for months and I have been recently been diagnosed with CML. I have the Philadelphia chromosome which is caused by chromosomal translocation. Google Berberine DNA damage. There is a 2013 study on Science Direct.

If you stop taking berberine and you are eating properly for type 2, does it spike back up again?
