Just had my latest HbA1c result and it is down in 3 months from 48/47 to 43 . I hoped it would be more. I am presuming it is the Amla and I will continue taking this and maybe increasing it further. I need to know the optimum time of the day to take it . I think I will start a new thread. I...

Well that was taken about 3.5 hours after my lunch so that is acceptable to me. My fasting numbers are in the 6's , I think because of my poor sleep pattern as I wake every 2 hours and then go back to sleep. Have done since menopause 15 years ago which was about when the inherited type 2 emerged...

I had a blood test yesterday and noticed on the form that there were 2 tests asked for. I asked the nurse who did the test and she said that they were both from the same blood sample but that was all she knew!! I have just been online and found my result which was down as Plasma Glucose Level...

Now that is an excellent idea to mix the too sweet for my taste Inulin with the Amla. FYI Amla is just an Indian fruit - nothing more!! What time of day are you taking your Amla and Inulin? I have also tried all the other things you have with no success. I am still taking the Berberis because I...

Just to say I have started a new pack of powdered Amla from the same supplier and firstly it is a darker powder than my last lot and nowhere near as sour and acrid so I can put less water with it!!

Genetically predisposed yes!! I was told that it was only because of my good eating habits and exercise I didn't get diabetes until I was in my 50's. It happened after I returned from 2 weeks working in India, living in 4 * hotel with buffet help yourself meals and I went mad- especially with...

Sorry I forgot to tell you about the taste. It is not green and disgusting like spirulina and Moringa - which I mix in with my daily Matcha green tea!! It is sour and the more water you add with it the better. I put my large 1/4 teaspoon in a tumbler add a little water and mix to a paste then I...

I am currently using https://www.amazon.co.uk/Organic-Gooseberry-Premium-Association-Certified/dp/B01GU27Z54/ref=sr_1_6_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1541168492&sr=8-6&keywords=amla+powder and nearing the end of my first pack so have ordered another . However I am about to buy...

About time I did an update. Not long after I researched the Berberis A I found another research paper this time for an Indian herb called Amla. Now I have been taking Amla 1/4 teaspoon once a day as I reckon I am prediabetic (just!!) and my fasting numbers have come down from average 6.8...

What about how long it takes you to eat your meal. It could take 20 mins or an hour. I would have thought that was more important- at least it makes sense to me :) I suppose its best if you are consistent which ever way you do it.

t OK I have to ask the question- This 2 hours after a meal. Is it meant to be 2 hours after you start your meal or finish it? I have just taken mine after about 2 .75 hours after the start and it was 7.7. I am staying away from home and had something I never include in a meal i.e. a load of...

What you say makes sense. All I know is that I have ordered 500mg capsules of the Berberis A. herb. I will have to see how it goes.

Very useful info re the IR tests. I see the diabetic nurse in a couple of weeks and she is insisting this time on a fasting test so will ask her about it. I am not and never have been terribly overweight in real terms. I am in relationship to my height but because I work out so much I am very...

Am not sure if that is the same trial I found as I seem to remember there were more people in it. I have looked at your link and also at another that used 1mg fruit twice a day https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4036375/ Here is one I found in rats...

My BS goes up if I am not well e.g., cold, flu, pain etc and there is nothing I can do about it until I am totally well again.

I am interested in those of you who are taking berberine. In what form are you taking it? I have just been doing research on Berberis Aristata and in fact have ordered some 500mg capsules. The research paper I looked at reckoned you need to take 1 x 500mg capsule at every meal and that it works...

Hi Tracey62, I have managed prediabetes for 15 years without medication using a low carb/low GI diet + exercise. I have the problem because it is inherited however if you have the problem because you are overweight you are lucky as all you have to do is lose weight and the problem will go away...
