Take Control Field Notes
Does Berberine Actually Lower Blood Sugar?
Berberine can improve short-term glucose markers in some people with type 2 diabetes, but the evidence is uneven and most trials used 900–1,500 mg per day. Dose, interactions, and evidence limits matter.
Does Meal Order Matter for Blood Sugar?
