    With all respect you gave no sound reason why a person cant stay on it longterm. 1000's die each year from doctor recommended prescriptions drugs....no one ever died of berberine. In Indian this is a regular part of the diet. Take if with food if it upsets the stomach.

    Been using Berberine since July 2020, and it has changed my life. I used to have weird blood sugar fluctuations and mood swings, etc. They went away about a week after I began taking it. No side effects so far. If I stop taking it, the crazy mood swings come back. I've been dealing with it my whole life, so I'm afraid to stop taking it.

      Do you think maybe you have sibo? Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. Or parasites or yeast? I think i used to have mood swings too n would get angry easily. After taking berberine black walnut hills wormwood allicin coconut oil oil of oregano i noticed i was much calmer.
      And whats your diet like? Maybe the foods you eat fed the bad gut bacteria. I know i wasn't calm ais i am now when i used to eat fast food. I recommend keto diet. You should watch dr berg on youtube talking about how bad padta n white bread n rice are. N maybe do a heavy metals detox slowly using bentonite clay n cilantro

Then looked up comments other people have made about raspberry Keytone’s and they also said that made their A1c shoot high. But I really began to lose weight, so the question is will the A1c be a false read from the raspberry Keytone’s? Is there a certain methodology for taking raspberry Keytone‘s that would not cause the A1c to go high?

      They act on similar mechanisms, so I would talk to your doctor. Doctor might not like you dipping into his cut, so keep that in mind. Taking both is like taking two anti inflamitories. I would cut the metformin and take the berberine for a bit while monitoring yourself. Nootropics depot has quality supplements. Make sure that always get from a quality source.

      I also take Alpha Lipoic Acid 600 alone with Bitter Melon I haven't had any problems with prediabetic results in one year.
      This is from my own personal experience and always check your blood pressure it is a very dangerous thing so be careful on what you do with your health.
      Always keep yourself updated with your doctor.
