    I was prescribed metformin about 35 years ago for type 2 diabetes. I take 2 1000mg tablets daily and break the pills in half, taking them 4 times daily. I am now 80 years old and the only side effect from metformin I might be seeing is the possible longevity one. Along the way I have had my B-12 checked and it was right in the middle of where it should be. Also. my kidney function is checked often and remains normal. I did start taking a B12 supplement even though my B-12 was normal because it's not going to hurt anything. Never had the diarrhea problem from metformin, but now that I am 80 I am often constipated. I suppose that could be the metformin, but I think just getting old is more likely. There is a reason for the old people and eating prunes advice. Metformin works for me and it's free with my insurance............so far...so good....

    I’ve been a type 2 diabetic for over 15 years. Eleven years ago I was prescribed Metformin and had a terrible reaction. I became so dehydrated so quickly that I wound up in the hospital. I was taking lithium and the dehydration caused lithium toxicity to the point that I had what my doctor called a chemical stroke. It took me two years to learn to talk again, a year before I could walk without a cane, and I still have memory loss and some speech aphasia. Three years ago I changed my lifestyle and everyday I learn as much as possible about this disease that affects so many of us. Thank you for your informative videos! It’s great to have reliable sources.
    BTW - I’ve lost 80 pounds, gotten off of all diabetic meds including insulin, brought triglycerides down from 1800 to 75. My A1c was 14.8 with insulin and glyburide when I started this change its now 6.2 with no medication or insulin.

    Type 2 diabetes is clearly the result of poor nutrition. my sister took metformin for 10 years. what for? she couldn't get rid of her diabetes. I persuaded her to try the ketogenic diet, cutting out sugar, fruit, bread and snacks. after a year she had normal blood sugar levels, normal blood pressure and lost 20kg. She is now drug free and only eats 2 meals a day. I'm proud of her

I am on 2000mg of metformin but I will only start taking 1000mg and see how that does with my new lifestyle.

      I can't stress enough that concern is valid and if your doctor won't listen to you find another one. They are not gods and you know yourself far better than they often wanna give you credit for. Right now I'm looking for a better doctor myself. I'm wondering if I can get off insulin because my A1C has consistently been in the 4.3-4.8 range with only 17 units of insulin. I changed my diet totally and it shows.

    Dr. Ergin Thank You for your website, it is a great help to many! I use Berberine 2 caps daily and it works! I take Metformin 3x daily 500mg=1500mg daily. My endocrinologist doctor here finally put me on delayed /slow release Metformin, and that stopped most all of diarrea symptoms. Took a week or so for it to work, but is good now. WE must cut out refined carbs and use our meds to survive, also walking and exercise daily. I need to lose 30 lbs and would do better. I will be 70 in a few months and feel mostly good in my life, but I could do better.

    Berberine gives a little diarrhoea but its much better than Metformin. I took Metformin one night and I couldnt sleep. I nearly fainted.
    Thank God for the alternatives.
    Its better to take medications with food. Nobody told me that before.
    Thanks again. I always appreciate the natural alternatives. They are so much easier on the body and healthier. Moringa is also good. Also drink lots of water.

    I have been on metformin for about ten years and I still experience diarrhea about once or twice a week from it. I am retired so it is manageable. If I was still working in sales where I had a very large territory that required lots of driving I would never take it. Before a flight, a long car trip, or going out to dinner I take a couple of Imodium which works quite well.

    Thank you for a great video. After hearing Metformin was used in anti-ageing medicine, I always thought I was fortunate to be using it as I have been able to control my blood sugar really well for the last 10 years. I now realize that all my problems regarding bloating pain and a host of other problems are related to Metformin. Periods of being housebound etc. Liver and kidney as well. The amazing thing is the many specialists I have seen, procedures I have had, and all referred from other doctors over the last 5 years, not one mentioned Metformin could be the problem.

      @Ben There you can use ginger to keep your blood sugar down. I don't know how it works but I stopped Metformin for a couple of months to see if I was suffering from a side effect (I was not) and successfully used only ginger powder mixed with a little Aspartame mixed in water. I found that my neuropathy was reversed when I started vitamins B-12 as well as Folic Acid and B6. Not sure whether the Folic Acid and B6 had any effect on the neuropathy but I took them for another condition and started all three at the same time.

      Take vitamin B complex. Neuropathy is caused by low B vitamins, causing your nerves to break down.
      Also, metformin depletes B vitamins, and eventually you will die from this deficiency.

    I have been watching your videos for some time and find it really interesting. I am diabetic since last 20 years. I was taking allopathic medicine but changed to exercise (Pranayama and Yoga), diet control ( No added sugar, less carb, moderate protein and fat, vegetables, sprouts, some fruit and nuts), herbs and Ayurvedic medicine since three years back. I try to eat three times within 10AM to 7PM, no snacking in between meals. I am 66years old, have my fasting blood sugar around 100 and feel my health has improved. I am sharing my experience so that you evaluate Ayurvedic medicine and suggest an holistic approach to manage diabetes.

I love the combo as I have no inflammation now but I am still taking metformin, I haven't been able to replace it as my fasting numbers over a week go up considerably. Hoping my new endo can look at other possibilities as to why. I do love the berbine though.

    Spicy Chili, Turmeric root, Papaya leaves, Ginger, cilantro leaves, basil leaves, Fermented Garlic, and raw Green Leafy salads. This is all u need. Chew all ingredients together slowely. Spit out the fibers except for the green salad. Warning. Only use this once daily, and eat regularly otherwise ur blood sugar levels will crash to extremely low especially after 3-5 days. Also, u might experience a Detox effects. In this case reduce the dosage and use only on alternative days.

I am now on Onglyza and sometimes Glipizide. I have Hashimoto thyroiditis and I have gluten issues, I see that my glucose levels spike even though I’m eating healthy! I would like to take something natural. The natural medicine you described sounds like a better alternative.

    • @dalesupertramp9234
      @dalesupertramp9234 8 місяців тому

      Metformin is a natural product. It comes from a plant called “Goat’s Rue.” It got its name because goats would eat it in fields, then suffer low blood sugar and pass out.
      It helps to take it with food, and there is an ER version you could ask for that is more tolerable because it dissolves slowly. It has much less risk of hypoglycemia, which is one reason doctors would rather you take it instead of drugs like Glipizide that have a higher potential to cause hypoglycemia.
