[QUOTE="Indy51, post: 513998, member: 48386"] There is a supplement called berberine that apparently has a similar effect to metformin, apparently without the GI side effects. There are two opposing opinions about it though - Jenny Ruhl who is a BG expert and author of the book and website Blood Sugar 101 (and a supplement sceptic) doesn't rate it very highly, mainly because of the unregulated nature of the supplement industry in the USA. The other viewpoint is argued by the Drs Nadolsky who produce a supplement called Glycosolve and claim their supplement is both ethical and safe. If you want to read more you can check out this link: [url]http://livinlavidalowcarb.com/blog/glycosolve-makers-respond-to-concerns-over-berberine/20323[/url] I figure it's best to have both sides of the story if you're thinking about using it. It's certainly crossed my mind a few times since finding out metformin isn't an option for me any more. [/QUOTE]
