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. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
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?
Dear Dr I do appreciate your detailed discussion regarding Berberine benefits for Blood sugar control Kindly advise which company Berberine is best in terms of blood sugar control and least side effects Regards
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.
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.

So glad it helped!! Wising you much health.
How low is low because hypothermia is sometimes relative. I’ve been in my 60ties bs with no problems.
Yes! Beautiful mechanisms, and timely knowledge for me, while trying to reduce NAFLD fat in liver with the coffee mechanism. Thank you doctors!
Thank you for your kind words and support!

I remember my undergraduate biochemistry exams....they were evil days ....9 hrs of essay writing.... Excellent lecture. Thanks
Thanks you very much SIR...u have GOD gifted ability to explain very complex issue in a very simplistic way...u r mazing...🙏🙏🙏

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