I was at 6.4 A1C 3 months ago. My doctor told me if I came back in three months for follow up with 6.5 she would put me on metformin. I went cold turkey and cut the carbs and sugar for three months. Just last week (3 months later) my A1C came back 5.4. Was 205lbs now I’m 169lbs. My liver enzymes were 77 and 119 now they’re 28 and 32. My Cholesterol was over 210 now 179. Triglycerides even came back to normal range. Too much Processed sugar is not a good thing. I’m living proof. Didn’t even exercised just change of diet. It’s a lifestyle
And I’m 63
Quick question, did you experience muscle loss? Thanks.
Same here
Did u notice bruising? I am.
Your story is truly inspirational. Did you take Berberine ?Thanks for sharing
👍🏿
The realization of taking Metformin, and Berberine can be catastrophic for some, in particular if you have any kind of thyroid diseases, keto acidosis, even shock can account from death. I studied a safer way if you need to take both: If you seperate Metformin say for example mornings, and 2 hours before bedtime take Berberine, this will allow your system to get less bad GI effects from Berberine, also note: Cinnamon grade is needed for Berberine to active AMPK, the mitochondria will be likely to accept the combination. However, even better way naturally is to take Banaba Leaf Extract with Berberine without toxicity or dangerous side effect as both of these are plant based. The Banaba Leaf Extract has also been used for years successfully reducing blood glucose, and stabilizes the your natural Insulin receptors, this combo also helps with weight loss.
I've been a diabetic for a long time. Had my fill of Metformin and not going back to taking it PERIOD. Berberine works just fine plus I have several other items I've added to my diet that help lower blood sugar.
How much and type of Berberine do you take ?
@@hondapilot Right? I hate when vague comments like this are left, lol
On his bottle one tablet. Is there anyone who can let us know. That is the dose? I take time release 500 mg Metformin in the morning. Started one pill a night of his Berberine.
My A1c went from 6.4 to 5.8 and my sugar went from 109 to 98 in a month and a half while taking berberine with cinnamon
How did you take the cinnamon? Was it just the cinnamon in the pill or additional cinnamon too?

@@luciabowman4919 Hi did you take it before or after you meals? If you took it before did you take it 30 mins before the meal?
Doc, I can honestly say, I absolutely love you I’ve been telling my doctor for years that Met Forman is making me sick and that it was not good for my body. Finally, I decided to take myself off of it I never felt better!it is probably one of the best decisions of my life I will definitely be taking the Dihydroberberine! I am ordering it as we speak! Keep up the good work, God bless!❤
I have taken both together for several years. It’s “ okay “, together.
I'm 3 weeks on dihydroberberine and I can see my clothing is a little loose but the scale has not moved yet.
Thank you for helping me sugar MD has given me a new health for lifestyle

What about taking Mounjaro and Dihydroberbering together?
Great video, always very helpful.

I have taken 10000mg Metformin two times a day for the past eight years. Started SugarMD berberine, substituting for one of the Metformin tablets each day for the past two weeks. Feel a cognitive boost.
I hope you added an extra zero to that as 10000mg twice daily would probably cause you to expire. 1000mg twice a day is what I remember as being the max dose. In other words a total of 2000mg or less per day.
All of these comments are so wonderful thank you for the patience and understanding that you give to your community. Dr. Ergin, my blood work shows that I am 7.6 A1c and usually average 162-210 blood glucose. I have been taking Dihydroberberine and super Ceylon cinnamon for about two weeks. Prior to that I was taking barbering. I am wondering how long it takes before seeing the results because my numbers seem to remain elevated. What would you suggest?*My doctor prescribed me 500 mg of metformin. I feel reluctant to take it however I want to be proactive and helping my body to heal.❤🎉❤
Would be appreciated if you tell how to take the Berberine and metformin together. What dosage, and how often. Take in between meals or at the same time?
I cant find this info any where even on his sight
I find this video very very informative. Thank you Dr. Ergin. More power to your channel.
Great we’re can I get it
Hi doctor we are waiting your products here in Turkiye too, number one problem is sugar problem here as you guess by delicious börek, çöreks, baklava :) thanks a lot selamlar
Been on Berberine for 2 months I check my A1C next month. What I do see currently is a loss of 15 pounds in 2 months. Much more energy and getting better quality of sleep.
Do you take both at the same time ? Or one in the morning and one in afternoon?
Thank you have to try that , I use the Berberine before .🙏❤️
I take berberine with Vietnamese cinnamon to mitigate chronic severe diarrhea due to missing digestive organs (medical malfeasance); to control chronic bacterial infections; and to maintain a healthy gut microbiome. I use Luma Nutrition’s berberine. I could not tolerate taking 600 mg capsules thrice daily doses until I stopped drinking decaf coffee. Berberine plus Rx anti-diarrheals have hugely reduced episodes of diarrhea. My blood glucose has always been very low. I am a lifelong vegetarian, and have never eaten processed or junk foods.
Thank you 😊 🤗
Hi, Just a quick question.
I was previously diagnosed with parotid cancer. One of the alternative treatments for cancer includes metfomin.
Are there any supplements that have the same actions as metformin? I take berberine and love it, but the two are different, and you need a Rx for metformin. Thanks! Love your videos. Your videos are also good for cancer patients attempting to keep their sugars lower. Great videos very informative.
Green tea and detox tea reduce Alkalinity in the body by doing that cancer dies.
Been taking Metformin for almost 6 years and I no longer see any difference with my blood sugar. I just ordered cinnamon and Berberine to see if will lower my Bloodsugar instead.
Can you take berberine with other medication like insulin, ozempic and metformin?
Hai doctor....can s person with ckd...take this medicine
Hello Doc. Can I use Janumet XR with Berberine?
Please answer all these questions
Dr. How i combine metformin and berberine
I am taking Sitaglu Met XR (1000mg metformin plus 50mg sitagliptin). Since Dihydroberberine is a better option, as it is natural. If I want to stop Sitaglu Met XR, how much dose I need for a combination of Metformin XR and Dihydroberberine. Your guidance will be appreciated.
Hi..new here.. i do take metformin and started ozempic in april.. could i also take berberine?
How much Berberine dosage if taking with low dose metformin as well?
Can a combination of Berberine & Metformin cause you to have low Blood sugar Hypoglycemia?
My type 2 was a side effect of 9 1/2 years of prednisone for severe asthma. When I developed the diabetes I was shocked. My doctor was surprised I hadn’t been told it was a possible side effect. Anyway. I controlled the diabetes for a long time with diet and exercise. Then I was put on metformin. 500 mg. Then 1,000. Then 1,000 2 x a day. I would like to try the Berberine combo. Do I just start it and as my blood is checked by a doctor, the doctor adjusts the metformin dose? My body lets a lot of things just float around in my blood without absorbing it. I take B-12 injections because of it.
Can Berberine be added to metformin and glipizide or should the glipizide be discarded?
I am 70 with well-maintained type 2 diabetes
My last therapy was 30mg Gliclazide plus twice 500mg Metformin. 45 days ago, on your advice, I took Berberine 2x500mg
I gradually started to reduce the therapy and now I am on 1/2 30 mg tablet of Gliclazide and two x 1/2 500 Berberine Every morning my blood sugar is below 5. I will check my A1C soon. I don't have any side effects from Berberine, but I also tolerated Metformin very well.
Every morning your blood sugar is below 5? Well, that is not good my friend.
Before meals, the suggested target blood glucose range is 4.0 to 7.0 millimoles per litre.
What is silica good for
Dr. Can I take matformine and berberine same time.
Can I take metformin with betberine and inositol?? Help. I don’t wanna ask my doctor. I have arthritis btw. Lil overweight 🥺
Berberine and Berberine hydrochloride which is better?
Thanks
I am diabetes and skinny using 2000g metotmin.
Can I still use it?
Very informative
Thanks for watching and commenting. We appreciate you. Please also consider sharing this content on social media.
Do you take them at the same time?
I tried taking berberine it seemed to cause a rash on my legs and around my ankles have you heard of this
should i take metaformin or berberine?
Doctor, can you or anyone please tell me if Metformin is generic or the brand name? Thank you.
We getting in guyana now I was wondering if I can take them together
What about synjarney
I started taking advanced glucose support around 4 or 5 months ago, and it has brought my blood sugar down and my A1c down quite a bit, so I just purchased the Super Berberine and added it to my breakfast meal with 500mg of Metformin XR and I ended up having a hypo of 54 at 3:30PM.
I do intermittent fasting every day, so I eat breakfast around 9 or 10 AM in the morning and dinner at about 4 PM and I only eat twice a day (no lunch).
I don’t like getting hypo’s of 54 because that’s too low for me, it makes me feel dizzy.
Is there a lower dose of metformin extended release that I can take, because I think the super berberine with the Metformin is too strong for me.
Any advice you can give me is appreciated.
Thank you.
If your getting hypo it means you bloodsugar is to low if im not mistaken. You should eat more often.
Half the 500mg tablet. I take it that way.
Have you tried to cut a 500 mg metformin in half which is equal low dose of 250 mg ?
I take berberine daily and 500 mg metformin every other day.
Super should tell you a lot.
Is Metforman in glucose defense
Can one take berberine, alpha linoic acid and metformin together?
What about combining Apple Cider Vinegar (1 tablespoon diluted in water) and Berberine on the same day at different times or am/pm or at the same time. Is it safe?
Mostly a commercial for his product
What brand did you take.
Is the same true for Januvia and super berberine?
When you say taking metformin and berberine together, do you mean the same day, spaced out or at the same time?
I.stop taking metaformen cause people were saying it cause severe kidney disease. Is this true?
CAN YOU SHIP THIS TABLETS ....india
I just did this a couple days ago. My blood sugar went from 140s to 190s in a couple days. I stopped taking the berberine with my metformin and was back to 140s in a couple days. Doesn't work for everyone.
Where can I find bere
TY ❤️🙏
I use berberine now
Will Dyhydro Berberine help to keep Metformin from destroying my kidneys as fast??
I usually take 650mg of berberine with 250mg of metformin in combination daily.
I AM hoping by taking both for a few months, it will eridicate diabetes?
Can you take SugarMD's Dihydroberberine more than once a day. The bottle says daily. There is big cost difference in the two medications as well.
Enjoyed this video. I think I,m going to try that combo soon. Even though my A1C is 5.9 I had stopped Metformin a year ago. But, I think 500 mg a day plus your Berberine might make my A1C even lower. Thanks for this idea!
Did your numbers go down
I read or saw somewhere that taking Berberine 90 to 120 minutes prior to Metformin will enhance the effect of Metformin. Do you have any information/experience to confirm or deny those claims?
Both work (at least partly) via AMPK
Both berberine and metformin work by regulating AMPK. Both are extracted from a plant. What is the advantage of berberine
How does one combine metformin & dehydroberberine?
Who knows.
where do we get berberine in India at Hyderabad
I asked my diabetes doc about berberine and she said "Whats That" ?
I would not recommend metformin they have warnings out and did a recall on it. I had bad side effects years ago.
Can the combo make you sugar too low??
Berberine does work for me. But after a few days I started with diarrhea and I can't take it. Bummer!
Metformin or berberine blunts muscle growth?
Doct, what about Rybelsus 7 mg + 2 caps Berberine and Metformin 1000 mg. Tesekkurler
Unless you have kidney failure metformin is ok. Berberine and rybelsus are ok too
I have had more success and less abdominal comfort introducing Myo-Inositol (Vitamin B8)in powder form mixed with water to my daily routine. I am concerned about the long term use of Metformin so I think I have found something.
It has reduced my Freestyle Libre readings down to the 5-6 range.
I am currently taking your di-hydroberberine and 500 er metformin once a day. My question can di hydro berberine be taken for long term without side effects or i have to stop after certain times then re start again.?? Also please doc do a video for hot flashes and sweating in diabetic management please thank you.
No medication has very long term study nor herbal products. It boils down to experience. Herbal products have centuries old experience among folks.
What's the best MG of Berberine to take with the Metformon?
250 mg DHB
I take metformin 1000 twice a day. Can I take the super berberine? Are there any side effects?
Would Berberine or Dihydroberberine while taking Metformin assist in lessening or stopping Diarrhea? I have dropped from 2000 mg Metformin daily to 1000 mg of ER Metformin and still have issues with Diarrhea.
I have the same problem, especially after having my gall bladder removed. No help for the diarrhea from berberine.
Berberine on its own caused severe constipation in me, with metformin I actually felt pretty normal day to day. I know every human responds to things differently though.
Berberine on its own caused severe constipation in me, with metformin I actually felt pretty normal day to day. I know every human responds to things differently though.
I had a horrible time. Had taken Met for years. My body said no more. I was so sick with diarrhea. My doctor wouldn't talke me off until I had an A1C. Between Covid early days and I couldn't leave the house, I simply lived in the bathroom. Literally.
One of the worst experiences ever. And I've begun through a lot.
How will berberine affect the body if used for a long time? Will it kill my liver or kidney?
Apparently not. It can apparently have an impact on gut biome if taken long term.
I use metformin and Marijuana edibles
A1C at 6.3
That’s pre diabetes
Yes and I'm a type 2 diabetic@@gsp1634
How much Berberine and Metformin should one take?
I had been on Metformin for over 3 years and my hair became thinner and thinner. I stopped about one month ago and my hair thinning stopped. Is hair loss/thinning a side effect of Metformin?
I read that it IS when I looked up side of effects Metformin. Caused hair to become thinner.
Take silica. It changed my hair completely!
What is sillica?
Yeah, what is it?
Berberine made my hair start thinning. I gave up on it, my brush was always full.
How about the effect of Metformin and Berberine on strength training?
Since they activate AMPK, and thus deactivate mTOR, this might blunt the effect of strength training on protein synthesis in muscle.
Would it be possible to avoid this deactivation of mTOR just when training, and still use these substances at other times.
To do that, we would have to know how long the effect holds. And how long after training we want mTOR to not be supressed.
I personally dislike this thought that always activate AMPK for health or longevity reasons!
I think it's more likely that we want to alternate more naturally between mTOR and AMPK.
Although, it wouldn't surprise me if todays overfeeding lifestyle has skewed it towards mTOR.
I can't free book because your site doesn't recognize my email address???
Ive started taking dihydroberberine two weeks ago. I take one capsule 3 times a day and had no side effects. My doctor did give me a prescription for metformin but i have not gone to get it yet because of the sidebrffects ive read about. Im insulin resistant and have issues with weight gain. Hoping berberine will help this. Watching this to see if i can take both
