Am I reading you correctly? Basic prescription in most cases = 2 x 500mg but you are taking 3 x this amountI am taking 500mg 4times a day and one 1000mg slow release metformin and was seeing similar results to when I was on three times the metformin but the side effects were unbearable.. Since last night my usual low carb healthy eating has gone right out of the window and I'm currently higher than I've been for weeks and feeling horrible.. But when I get back home after short break I will be back to healthy low carb eating and it will be obvious if the berberine is as effective as metformin.. I was seeing early very good results though
Metformin has a levelling off ability and I have never seen Metformin give benefit over 1000mg in my case except being a prisoner of the loo. However, having been taken off Metformin (Glucophage in Asia) because it was exacerbating my Congestive Heart Failure - I have become a new man as far as energy and mindset are concerned.
