I thought diabetes ran in my family. As I grew older I realized the reality. The habit of eating lots of cereal, cookies and cinnamon buns was what ran in my family
Exactly like my family,change in diet was key for me.
We all have a family history of eating horse food. And you can't convince me the Irish aren't trying to kill us off with potatoes and get our land cheap.
You are smart to figure that out. Good for you. So many people never make the connection or are told by their doctors food doesn’t matter (until they cross the magic line into diabetes). If we focused on prevention as much as sick care it would save soooo many people so much suffering (and probably lives as well). God bless!
Yes I think it's the truth about anything that is "inherited ".nature or nurture".
It's sort of giving up when people think it's just genetic. I believe so about "naturally aging",as they call it.
Eating a Carnivore strict diet can resolve DIABETES 1& 2. Resolved my AS ARTHRITIS & never felt better at 72!
I too was eating homemade cookies and homemade ice cream. I’m 68! Years old and my weight was up. I had blood work done and my A1C was above normal. My doctor said the dreaded pre-diabetes phrase. I cut out all sugar and drinking lots of water. I’m also taking Berberine. I’m down 15 pounds and it’s all good now.
I started taking berberine in January of this year, I train with weights every other day and when I'm not weight training I do cardio. One day in mid-march, I was bringing groceries in, and my hands started to hurt, that night they got so swollen I couldn't move my fingers or my wrist, then it traveled to the other hand I could not pick up anything without my joints swelling. So I got to thinking, what am I doing different, that is causing me so much pain, it felt like I had arthritis. The swelling went down, but my joints hurt, and it started traveling again, this time to my knees, and my ankles, then my shoulders. So I said to myself that it had to be the berberine, since that is the only thing different, I was taking, I am not on any medications, only vitamins. So I started researching the other side effects of berberine, it turns out that in SOME people berberine suppresses the synovial joints, which are the joints that lubricate. So I stopped taking berberine, and I let it ride itself out of my body, it's last stop was my right jaw, I could not open my mouth, or eat comfortably. It took three months for this thing to get out, and now I am back at the gym, and nothing hurts anymore. So whoever reads this, be careful.
I agree with you not a fan of berberine.
I have the same problem, my arms ,angles hurting after 5 weeks of barbering 2x500mg, stoped using Berber one 2 days ago
wow!! Thank you!
Plus if you look it up it starts that one the things it affects is testosterone levels, it decreased them so be careful with it
Spot on! The stuff is not without side effects!!
I tried taking it many times and absolutely can’t. I experienced a lot of side effects even at lowest tiny dozes. Dropped it, and felt better.
Wait until you took Berberine 6 weeks (and I only take 500mg daily) and you will get crazy results. I lost weight to the point where I have to watch myself and eat enough (while being perfectly healthy), no more "hangry" periods - I can eat only twice per day while having good muscle maintenance. I feel so much better as well.
Which brand do you take?
@@samanthamiller6451 Tulip BioPharma Berberine HCL 500mg
Yes what brand please 🙏
@@samanthamiller6451 Tulip BioPharma
How much are you taking?
Thanks so much Doc for putting berberine to the test and sharing your results. I appreciate your generosity. 🙏🏾💖
I am a type 1 diabetic, been on insulin for 35+ years. (don't ask how old I am!) and I have been taking berberine for ...appx 6 years. I take it AM & PM. My insulin dose needed was easily cut in half. I know this because I am on an insulin pump. It was pretty amazing. Insulin is EXPENSIVE!
Can you please share what brand of Berberine you're taking! There is so much on Amazon that has very little Berberine and is mixed with different ingredients and it does not work.
@@NansGlobalKitchen it's brand "doctor recommended supplements" the product is "berberine plus" it's 600 mg per capsule. I take one in AM and one in PM. Good luck!
Dog insulin is the identical product at rock bottom pricing.
Please can you share the exact brand. Thanks in advance.
@@MeidasTorireally ? But can humans take it ?
I use DIHYDROBERBERINE, cost more but stays in blood longer and better absorbed. FDA is doing nothing to correct our food and carb dilemma, we must do it ourselves or face type1.
What brand and are you happy about the brand?
I'm in Kanada. Dihydroberberine is not allowed to be sold here. Our gov't says so. It's for our safety, apparently. They claim that it hasn't been studied yet. I suppose they are waiting for a big-pharma sponsored trial. Like that'll happen.
They also blocked essiac tea for cancer even though it has helped many folks
type 2 you mean
quake2u you probably mean insulin dependent type 2. It is not the same as type 1. Type 1 is an autoimmune disorder in which the body attacks the pancreas. Type 2 is due to poor eating habits and lifestyle- which is why your Dr will try diet as the first option for treatment
I am getting 3000 mg berberine per day . In 4 months I lost 37 lb and my A1C dropped from 6.4 to 5.6 .
Another cool thing is that my triglycerides dropped from 400 to 145 …..
Definitely berberine helps a lot and also decreases cravings for sweets….
Ps: I did also intermittent fasting for this period of time .
Did you take berberine by itself or with another drug like metformin?
@@Chicago48 just berberine … one in the morning 1,500 mg and second one before my first meal between 1-2 pm .
I have one meal at 2 pm and the last one at 6 pm
Awesome! What brand please?
It made me sooo constipated. Almost total blockage.
Brand please!
Great video! What was your meal regiment during this time when you were taking the supplement?
Try giving up carbohydrates and peanuts. Most of your problems will then have disappeared. So no bread, wheat, pasta, rice, oatmeal, etc. And try a keto diet for at least 3 months. This has helped me enormously with concentration and skin problems. Barbera O Neil has so much wisdom, this is what I learned from her.
raised my cholesterol so did whole food plant based no added junk oil dropped 40 points in 3 months
Went carnivor and wow
@@kentgulley5259cholesterol is not a problem as long as your triglycerides are good. This is one of the myths of medicine
But why give up peanuts?? : (
I found the keto diet very difficult because I was watching and counting the carbs, and as a result my mind was thinking about the foods I can't have. So I switched to the carnivore diet and WOW! It's so much easier for me, and of course I love steak and eggs! Just stocked up on prime rib that's on sale.
The biggest surprise is after a few weeks once I was adjusted to it...I am actually spending less on the steaks than I did on all the veggies and carnivore ingredients. Less prep and less clean up, less stress, and my skin is so much better, autoimmune stuff is calming down, I sleep better and I am more active. Seems criminal that they are trying to ban red meat.
8 months on berberine and lost 40 pounds and a1c from 7.2 to 6.1.
What brand did you use?
@@CalorAzteca swanson vitamins
Wonderful and how many mg dose did you take
During this 30 day period, did you keep your regular eating habits or did they change too?
No weight loss yet but after about 6 weeks, my dr has me taking Berberine and my FBS went from 148 to post meal, 121!
do you have to stay on it to maintain those levels, or go back on periodically?
Why not just stop eating sugar? Serious question. I did, and I'll never go back. That's how much better things are. Free yourself.
Sugar actually has addictive qualities. Some people are more sensitive to sugar on top of that.
Exactly. It's ridiculous seeing all these obese people with diabetes all because they can't say no to sugar. Where were all the fat people before 1984? They didn't exist.
It's not just sugar, it's any simple carb food as well
"STOP EATING SUGAR!" You are so Great. You have killed diabetes in one fell swoop. But where's the money!? Is that a sustainable business model for the medical establishment including Big pharma?
BECAUSE MED SCHOOL SUCKED HIS BRAIN OUT. DRS ARE NOT SMART PEOPLE. THEY AREN'T
Dr. Legrand, Is there a possible explanation for why it took so long for you to finally become more responsive to the effects of berberine on your blood sugar to a more ideal 92, rather than the somewhat disappointing 1 or 2 point drop you had in the first few weeks? Could it be that it takes time to alter pancreatic or liver physiology or maybe modulate the insulin receptor on cells? I have heard it alters the gut microbiome and this plays a role in insulin sensitivity. Any thoughts on the time delay it has to work more effectively? Have you also heard that in traditional Chinese medicine they consider Coptis chinensis, a primary source of berberine and to be too 'cold' to take long term, "Huang lian/coptis is a very cold herb and can injure the Spleen and Stomach when taken for too long".
I have been using sugar shield and it has been amazing so far.
May I ask what your side affects were and where you purchased the Berberine or was a prescription needed?
Do you have a brand you recommend? I’m nervous to try it I’ve heard so many people say it destroys their stomach
What brand did you take? I would love to start this ASAP
This is good to know in case I need it. I've always been "borderline." My doctors didn't worry too much about it & neither did I. My fasting glucose has always been about 110-130, A1-C, 6 to 7. This is hereditary. I refuse to take Metformin. Medical professionals in our family swear that it causes kidney failure in the elderly. My wellness doctor has been treating me for insulin resistance for years and is not too concerned about my glucose since I do a lot of exercise & follow her treatment plan: peptide injections, Diaxinol, diet, etc.
nice. thanks legrand.
What times of day did you take the berberine?
Thank you for the detailed explanation - this is helping me in my choice of berberine type. I'm always joking when meeting another D2: RUD2? 😁Just FYI: Metformine is causing Alzheimer. Wonder if I can reverse my D2 replacing the Metformine with Berberine.🤔
Alarming? Your blood results were amazingly good and I've never in my life had results as good as what you complain about in spite of high doses of medications.
Ditto that! 107 would be a dream for me.
Yes but he cut the head off the snake early, saving himself from the proverbial bite
Yeah. Aboslutely good readings. Nothing alarming.
If you’re following macro guidelines from the Diabetes association in the US that’ll happen
Not dangerous, just high normal.
did it improve your A1C?
Do you take it with or without food??
@Dr.legrand does this make your skin dark
What brand do you recommend??
I had such nausea from that Berberine even on a full stomach! Have to try maybe 1/2 dose in future. seemed to decrease my appetite though, but Nausea can decrease appetite too.
did you have a consistent diet during this experiment?
I take 300mg twice daily. But I also workout 3 days a week. My job keeps me moving over 10k steps per 12 hour shift. I’m also plant based. I lost 20lbs in my first 30 days. But I’m very active at 42 years of age as a female. I also consume great fruit during the day & one large meal at 8pm after work because this supplement curbs my appetite all day! I highly recommend this before trying ozempic. This supplement won’t eat away at your muscles.
What's a day of eating look like for you? This is the exact eating schedule I'm trying to start! Thanks 😊
@@tashaohaynes I have a coffee with 3 tablespoons of creamer at 6am. I don’t eat again until 10am which is a OWYN brand chocolate plant based shake. I eat 3 cutie oranges & half a cup of Quaker brand rice cake chips at 1pm. I then have my last meal of the day at 8pm when I’m off work which is 1 cup of basmati rice, 1 half cup of veggies crumbs (you can sub for ground turkey if you eat meat) with 3 cups of frozen bell peppers and onions mix from Kroger. I drink a gallon of water per day. I work at a correctional facility so I get over 10k steps per day. I weight train on a push pull schedule 3 days a week & mobility 1 day a week for an hour. I burn about 400-500 calories per workout on the three days I do workout. I do a 5 minute warm up on the elliptical. After weight training I do 25 minutes on the elliptical. I get 6-7 hours a sleep per day due to being a full time student at University of Arizona online. I’m also 42 if that helps.
@hamilton0526 thanks so much for sharing! I will def use this as a guide to start my weight loss journey! And this seems doable on a long-term basis too!
@hamilton0526 what brand of berberine do you use. I heard good things about Peak Wellness but can't find it anywhere!
I started taking Berberine 500 mg twice a day and after about a month I’d had to get another blood test and my glucose went into a very normal range and I’d lost about 3-4 pounds. Then I got Covid and dropped 10 pounds in about 5 days and got ozempic face. For the next month I very slowly dropped a few more pounds. I also could NOT skip meals (a bad habit of mine). I gave up sugar in 2000 and I have eaten a fairly low carb diet since so telling me to cut back on sugar means my doctor is not paying attention. I had covid last Sept and I’ve found my lungs did not permit me to do the 9-10 mile walks a day and lots of stairs were impossible. I eat a very simple diet and I do walk every day for an hour now. The weight began to come back. I added a lunchtime berberine and my weight still fluctuates at the Precovid weight…. I don’t really take it for weight loss but glucose/insulin. I’m changing insurance next year so I can get a full diabetes blood work up. I’m not sold on the berberine for weight loss. I’m coming up on one year….
What brand did you use?
Dr legrand also tried Berberinne including intermittent fasting.or keto!
I like my bgl to be between 80-88, that is when I feel the best!
What Brand did you take
Hello.. Are there alternatives or natural supplements that have the same effect as SNRIs, norepinephrine inhibitors?
You should have Human Biologist "Gary Brecka" read your lab results. Better yet, yet should consider his gene test. Looking forward to getting mine done
I'm overweight but don't have diabetes. I've been on a healthy low carb diet for about 4 years now. I lost about 60 lbs but that was about 2 years ago. Haven't been able to shed any more. I started taking berberine about 3 weeks ago in hopes it helps me lose some additional pounds. I hope I am not messing up my insulin levels with this. I should probably test. My normal fasting level is around 66. I've never tested several hours after eating. I am going to have to do that. I haven't lost any additional weight but I can tell I am definitely eating less.
I was looking into Berberine not so much for glucose level control but for triglycerides. My Triglycerides are elevated and I definitively don't want to use Statins. In researching statins and LDL, it seems that the culprit is inflammation. I assume that sugar has a great impact on this, have you or any other doctor investigated high glucose and LDL/Triglycerides based on (arterial) inflammation?
I believe Dr Eric Berg speaks about this. He’s on TH-cam. I don’t have any of these issues, I just do a lot of research for prevention. My understanding is that sugar and carbs cause inflammation, which contributes to diabetes, and all of the other issues.
Get more sleep, cut back on alcohol, eat a lower carb diet (more Whole Foods, less processed foods). Walk at least 30 minutes a day.
Please no statins.
@@k.robintaylor8272 Sleep, I usually sleep 5-6 hours, use to be less when younger. No alcohol or coffee Just teas, juices and water. Process food, not much we cook at home mostly and when we eat out it's at good restaurants. Exercise, I do about 4-5 miles on a bike everyday for about 30 to 45 minutes and then swim a few laps in the pool to cool down (I'm in Phoenix metro area). But I was gaining weight after the prostate treatment, most likely this is the cause of higher Triglycerides, nrrd to get weight back down to 180 from 190. Hopefully this does the trick.
Check Taurin next, please. There are some really promising studys, like the diabetes rats who lowered mortality at high rates if supplemented with Taurin.
Taurine???
@@susanmullins7713yes
I take Eliquis (after a stroke ) checked for cont
Directions on my brand says, 500mg, three times per day.
How and when we use it please
Do you take it with meals?
Can I ask what type of Berberine you use, Berberis aquifolium? Thanks
I have read to take breaks from berberine but no specifics about how long to stop taking it. Or, even how long to take it before you break from it.
Funny people commenting that they lost weight and gets quite when asked what brand. Why?
Lumanutrition, you're welcome
Quiet
I use Balanceme from Healthlabs
I took it for several months. Nothing.
I took it for a month and nothing …
Try focusing on reducing fat, especially saturated fats- this is the ONLY thing that works for me.
How long does it take to work? I just started taking it.
I’ve been taking Berberine for about a year now. At first it was like a freaking miracle! Weight shed without trying, cravings gone. Today, the weight has all come back. I crave stuff. I have not had any bloodwork during this time so I have no idea what benefits I’ve gained, or if I had benefits and then they stopped.
Have you changed your diet, like adding high carb foods back in? Or gone through menopause? Something has to account for the return of your cravings & weight gain. It sounds like you're insulin resistant.
The weight came back without changing anything. Except yeah, maybe peri-menopause. Hooray for hormone changes
@@taniahummelgard2290 Peri-menopause, yep. that'll do it. Menopause makes us more insulin-resistant.
107 is HIGH? He's nuts.
ok, dumb questions here:
How sure are you that it was the berberine since your baseline diet and possibly health status, at least how presented in the video, was the time around the holidays in which people also gain weight and probably have increased intramyocellular lipid and other contributors to rising insulin resistance.
Then, did you eat JUST like you did normally before the holidays? Or did you alter your diet, even a little, since your goal was to lower your fasting corn syrup levels?
Even a small dietary adjustment would cause weight loss that you are chalking up to berberine. The weight loss could also be a no part of, a little part of, some of, most of, or even all of your fasted blood sugar level improvement and it might have nothing to do with berberine. Or did you watch your experiment close enough to know for sure?
thoughts?
Please just go read some studies on Berberine.
type 2 diabetes dosen't run in your family, sugar and processed carbs do, also 8 hours isent really fasting, usualy it takes like 18 hours to see some benefits
Can you take berberine AS WELL AS metformin?
Do you need to take Berberine with any other supplement so that it is absorbed properly in the body?
Good info, thanks. I think I will increase my dosage to 500mg. three times a day.
6 bags or more green tea a day keeps my 125 150 blood sugur to under 99
how long do you take it for?
I got severe stomach ache after taking my first pill and I didn't dare take it again.
Change brands
I have a sensitive stomach and I didn’t get anything. Take with food.
Some people are sensitive to it. Start out with low dose.
i had a similar issue. I had to switch to the dihydoberberine. i take it with food and its much better.
If you’re still taking it - do a full iron panel… Berberine tanked my iron after a couple months of usage, really badly. Similar reports on Reddit.
then what?
Good to know. Thanks for sharing.
Eat beef!
Great suggestion, thank you for posting! 👍🙏
Good to know! Thank you!
وفقكم الله.
It’s good it is working but what happens when you stop using it?
did yah take dihydra berbarine?
Interesting! I recently completed 30 days of berberine. My bloods are fine but I wanted to lose some weight. I started taking it before meals, but it bothered my stomach. later I switched to taking it with food. in the first few days, I noticed it had an apatite suppressant effect, but at the same time, it also made me feel hungrier. I kinda like the feeling of being hungry. I used to train really hard when I was younger and always associate the feeling of being hungry with a successful session. Nowadays, even when I work hard, I don't get that hungry feeling. I also had a slight increase in energy. But I did find that when I finally ate, I did want to eat more. at the end of 30 days, I didn't lose any weight and didn't really have any more noticeable effects than I did in the first week or so. I'll try it again, probably a different brand, and maybe a higher dose, some time in the future.
Would've been more informative if you explained what Berberine is for us that don't know.
Berberine is very similar to Metformin.
correct terminology: mg/ dL not MG DL
Taking Berberine, Green tea and L-Carnitine last 3 weeks. Down 5 lbs.
What about Amla berry for lowering blood sugar?
Try Bhumi Amla
From what ive seen it only works for a few hours so take before meals.
True - therefore you have to take it 3 times per day, each time before a meal. Its half-life is about 3-4 hours
@@l.b.1952 I've taken it right after meals as well, if i forgot to take it beforehand. I still lost like 10 lbs every month. So, i guess as long as it's taken close to ingesting food before or after, youll get good results.
Would really like to know if it’s safe to take while in ketosis
Sure
2500 mg 2xdaily.. helps a lot
I heard berberine also lowers cholesterol. Does anybody have experience with that?
Yes its helps
yes, my recent blood work showed a reduction in not only my a1c but also my triglycerides from 220 to 209 with three weeks use AND a 2.2 pounds weight loss.
I'm on day 4...I used to scarf down a whole pack of gummies and today I could only tolerate 4! Also When I wake up in the morning I immediately prep a hefty breakfast and today I began eating around 2pm...so technically I think I intermittent fasted!!!! It works! Mine kicked in on day 2
I’ve been gaining weight on Berberine but my bmi is very low so I love it.
What brand do you take? If you don't mind me asking 😊
Myoscience
Wwww,w×w,,@@swyllie30
Why are you taking it if you have very low bmi ?
Gut health
Noone ever speaks about taking berbine alone or with other drugs?
High intensity health says take with alpha lipoic acid to magnify effect.
you can
Should I not take this along with my 1,000 mg of METFORMIN twice a day??? Plus - Glipizide twice a day -- been taking this for over 20 years.
It works as good as metformin. So, you can literally ditch the metformin.
I'm a type 2 diabetic and have never taken any insulin or pills like metformin which causes long term damage to the kidneys and liver. I use whole foods as medicine (bitter melon) and recently Incorporated the berberine. within 3 weeks my a1c went from 8.7 to 8.3 as well as some weight loss and a reduction in my triglycerides.
I took it for two years and nothing happened :(
I have been taking berberine for 4 months now , before I was taking 500 mg in morning and evening after meals.for the past 3 weeks I am doing 1000 mg morning and 1000mg evening and I am borderline diabetic. But my weight did not change on scale even by a pound. Can any one guide as to what is not right. My food is pretty controlled and o do not over eat.
Anyone in the same boat as me and what to do ?
Mother's milk contains glucose. Therefore glucose is not the bad guy, unless you consistently overeat it, in which case, diabetes results. Fructose is not in mother's milk. It is indeed the bad guy that causes fatty liver disease and beta cell malfunction ending in insulin resistance. If you are diabetic, you should stop eating glucose and fructose ENTIRELY until your diabetes is reversed, by which time, you could resume eating HALF the glucose and only 20% of the fructose you previously ate. Make sure you keep checking your blood sugar level. As soon as you notice abnormal glucose level, you shall go back to square one. That's stop eating glucose and fructose entirely.
Why go back to glucose/fructose at all? Infants need mother's milk to get the fat for brain development, all things for growth. If mom isn't consuming sugar & carbs, baby won't get much glucose at all...its something we CAN live without & be healthy. Meat & green vegs, fats is all anyone needs.
@@susandavis5776 If mom eats carnivor, her blood will contain enough gluose for the BABY, due to GLUCONEOGENESIS.
How long before each meal you took the pill? My bottle says “before each meal” but I do don’t know if I have to wait 5 or 30 minutes 😅 does it make a difference?
My blood sugar is high even though I am eating like keto no sugar and low carbs. I have eaten anything first thing on morning take my BSUGAR and it is like 171 or 163 or the lowest 150 and this is with an 18/6 of fasting . I have absolutely none symptoms of the a diabetic! I don't know what's going onMy PCP said he will refer me to an endocronologist
You have insulin resistance. Too much fat around the liver can cause this
Were you fasting for your blood work? 107 is the in normal range.
What about doing keto and getting your carbs low. Ketovore
Of course, reducing sugar/carb intake will be hugely beneficial. That should be done before taking any supplement.
My blood sugar levels went down by eating low carb no supplements 😮
I was told i had type 2 diabetes a few years ago of cause she started me on metformin it made me so sick and i took my self off of it and start drinking cinnamon tea every day had a doctor appointment a couple months later told my doctor what metformin was doing to me when my blood sugar was tested the doctor could not believe that my blood sugar was down to 6 now when i go to my appointments my blood sugar is still low
Geez, my berberine is 8750mg! Just started taking it a couple days ago and definitely only once a day.
Whoa 😮 that’s seems like an extremely high dose. Be careful.
berberine just gives me anxiety
What brand?
Ne razumijem sto je to Brrberin ,koji mu je sastav ili od cega se dobija to je u mojoj zemlji nepoznato ,hvala pozdrav iz Bosne i Hercegovine ❤🎉
Berberin je spoj koji se prirodno nalazi u mnogim biljkama. Neka istraživanja sugeriraju da može pomoći u promicanju mršavljenja, poboljšanju regulacije šećera u krvi i zaštiti od nekoliko kroničnih stanja.
@@tonysnow6842 hvala na odgovoru od ❤️
What brand because I didn’t notice any changes and blood tests stayed the same. Bad.
I found Berberine lowered my cholesterol to 216 from 230!
Pills..pills and more pills..so frustrating
Just be careful. I took Berberine for 4 days and it gave me horrible stomach pain. It caused my stomach lining to inflamed. I looked like I was 9 months pregnant. Horrible experience 😢
I have read Berberine isn’t suitable for breastfeeding or pregnant women. Side effects nausea diarrhea or constipation but this doesn’t happen to everyone.
@@noonmanji2086 I didn’t take it when I was pregnant. It caused inflammation and it made me look like I was pregnant :)
Yes this is common side effect. Some people simply can not take it. Some do find dihydroberberine doesn’t cause the side effects.
@@chicky895sorry misunderstood yr message 😂😂
@@noonmanji2086 🤣🤣🤪 no worries
Should we take this daily forever or for a specific amount of time?
Good question. Unfortunately, you didn’t get an answer.
Not forever, it's a regimen like 4-6 weeks.
Berberine is as effective as Metformin without the side effects.
I have heard by health practitioners that it is detrimental to your heart?
Does berberine help with cholesterol ?
Just quit eating processed foods
I did for me! Lowered my Total Cholesterol, Glucose, LDL-P, and my APOb to great levels, but does make me feel full a lot, and I am a bit under weight as it is, Good Luck!
I've been taking for 2 months and I haven't lost any weight. I'm not diabetic, course I don't really know...I don't go to doctors
