I started this 3 months ago to address my A1c levels which had been rising steadily and were in the pre-diabetes range the past 5 years. I tried everything: tracking my food and macros on MyFitnessPal, decreasing sugar intake significantly, strength training 3 days a week with a personal trainer who pushes me, HIIT rides 3 times per week on my Peloton, increased fiber (30 grams daily) and water (60-90 ounces per day) intake, maintaining healthy weight (formerly 136, down to 122 and now at 116 due to berberine). Nothing worked and in some cases it got worse. I was beyond discouraged until I listened to a podcast by Andrew Huberman who mentioned berberine so I tried it. My A1c dropped significantly and I am no longer pre-diabetic despite slipping a bit ( ok, a lot) on sugar and simple carb intake due to some life stressors. I am a believer and highly recommend trying this supplement. I am 69 years old, super active and constantly researching ways to live my best life. Berberine is a key component and has been life-changing for me. I highly recommend it based on my experience.
