I've been weaning off, as I'm off all other diabetes meds. After cutting all grains & added sugars, and sticking to low carb veggies/fruits/dairy in moderation, was finally able to keep my blood sugar in the 80s and avoid spikes. Can't wait to be off it permanently.

I had to decrease my dose and eliminated the evening dose. I think it affected my sleep. And I had lots of nausea. I take 1000 each morning with a meal and so far, so good. I do love this channel - it’s such a wonderful resource, not just the good Dr but the community here.

I took it for less than a month at my Doctor's insistence and it destroyed my health. A year later I'm still not back to where I was. It's a great meditation for many many people, but some people have problems with it. A pity my Doctor seemed to be oblivious to the possibility of side effects and insisted I keep taking it.

I have been taking metformin for 35 years for type 2 diabetes. Never had any problems, and I am now 80 years old. As far as I am concerned, "what side effects?". I do have my kidney function checked often because that is recommended by my doctor. Also I had my B-12 checked and it was normal.....Metformin works great for me. Now that I am 80 I'm wondering if I am having the metformin longevity side effect? If that is true, I can live with that one. Metformin is free with my insurance, and I would recommend metformin.............

I also take Metformin twice a day, and will take one 500mg Berberine at bedtime if my blood sugar is over 100. I did this on my own, and my A1C has dropped to below 5 for the first time in decades. Elevated A1C can lead to blood vessel issues and peripherical neuropathy, and I suffer from both. Wish I had found this channel earlier. Get it as low as you can. Mine never got above 5.9, to me, 6.9 is not good, but you have to make the choice for yourself. Neuropathy and heart disease is not fun.

I always had bad side effects from metformin in the past. I tried taking a half of metformin once per day to get used to it before going on the extended release metformin just a few days ago. After the 2nd day of one half metformin I ate some extra food that night (chips and some cookies, bad carbs) and ended up so sick. Thought I was going to die and it also raised my blood sugar. I won't be taking metformin anymore or getting into the extended release metformin either, forget that.

Thank you doctor for your valuable information on "meds". My doctor took be off Glipiside and replaced with Trajenta. Not much report on it, except for me, it's quite costly. I have been using metformin for many years and find it works well; if we all are aware that all "meds" work alot better with proper dieting. Metformin also definitely slows the aging process. A healthy diet is the key to good health. I am 75 going on 76, and trying my best to eat healthy..I love lots of veggies & red wine... Thanks for your advice, doctor.

I’ve never heard it slows the aging process. Wow. I was on prednisone for 9 1/2 years for severe asthma and prednisone accelerates aging. My skin got extremely thin. I was 20 years younger than my mom and looked 20 years older. I’m now 79. Maybe this many years on metformin has counteracted the prednisone. Which the prednisone gave me diabetes. 🤷‍♀️

What is the difference between Berberine, super Berberine and dihydroberberine?
@SugarMDs
@SugarMDs 11 ай бұрын
Dihydroberberine is what your body really absorbs and uses. Berberine has to be converted Dihydroberberine. During conversion a lot of gas is created which causes bloating. Our Super Berberine product is Dihydroberberine plus 20X concentrated Ceylon Cinnamon.

Well I had to stop taking metformin as it was giving me gastrointestinal problems-mainly a lot a flatulence and was making me feel sick. So I removed sugar from what I eat and it’s only been 5 days and the difference to my overall health is incredible. I was pre-diabetic but I’m sure now my blood sugars will be normal. Blood test in 4 weeks and a doctors visit will be interesting to see the results. I think cutting out sugar will be the best thing for my health I can do at 55.

I once took one 500mg berberine capsule a few hours after I took a 500mg blackberry metformin and went into extreme low blood sugar. So I would recommend not to take these with in hours of each other. In the last 3 weeks I decided to try just berberine, and cut out metformin to see if there is a difference. But I only take 1 500mg berberine every 12 hours. Watching my carb intake, best to lower carbs as much as you can , carbs are the problem here.

Hi Doc, I have been taking metformin for close to a year with no side effects, my recent blood test showed protein in my urine I was told I am ok, now I am concerned about the protein, should I get the kidney function test. I love grapefruit but I cut it out of my diet. What can I do to get the protein out of my urine. Thank you for sharing this important topic.

Started metformin 2 year ago. When I was hospitalized with covid pneumonia. I'm 63. Was keeping my numbers 100 to 180 with diet. My doctor put me on a cholesterol medication 6 month ago. Now it's hard to get my numbers down below 226. Could cholesterol mess cause it to rise. Doint have a ck up for a while. ?

I stopped Metformin and the cholestrol prescription (Aspavor) from my doctor about a year ago. Just cut out sugar and carbs. Now my cholestrol is normal and my blood sugar around 5.8 to 6.6 which is just inside prediabetes. Still drinking a lot of beer though.

Diabetes has been like a wildfire in my family. Started with my grandfather. Then went to my 2 aunts, 2 uncles then my father. My oldest brother got diagnosed last year n he’s now taking the shots. Both my twin brother n I have been diagnosed at age 69 n I am taking metformin n super Berberine. Blood sugar always in the 120s when tested. Hoping exercise n diet helps keeping it low.
