I stumbled onto information on Berberine tonight. Dr. Whitaker states the following on his website...
"A two-part study showed that folks taking 1,500 mg of Berberine daily achieved significant improvement in both fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels, along with hemoglobin 3-month average healthy blood sugar levels.1 A second double-blind, placebo-controlled study not only backed up the results from the previous study, but showed even more benefits with Berberine, including a full 25% decline in both total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol, as well as lower triglyceride levels.2"
1 Yin J, et al. Metabolism 2008;57(5):712–17.
2 Zhao W, et al. Biomed Pharmacother 2008;62(10):730–1.
Does anyone here have experience taking Berberine?
There's a few reviews here...

And Indy51 posted a link to this site a while back - (type "berberine" into the search field)...
