I want to see if berberine will reduce a blood sugar spike. I ate a Twix bar the other day to benchmark my blood sugar spike, and today I'm going to take 500 milligrams of berberine a half hour before I eat the same Twix bar to see if there's any difference in my blood sugar. There are a lot of studies online showing how berberine can reduce blood sugar when taken over a period of time, but I want to see how it works with just one dose. So I'll be back in half an hour to eat the Twix bar. Okay, it's been a half hour, now it's time for the Twix bar. Alright, it's been several hours since I've had the berberine and the Twix bar. Before we look at today's results, let's look at yesterday's results with the Twix bar by itself. You can see there was an elevation in my blood sugar by 36 milligrams. Now let's pull up today's test with the berberine, and you can see there's still an elevation here by 34 milligrams, which is only a two-point difference here. Not a big difference. So is berberine good for me to reduce my blood sugar levels? It's hard to tell. This is the type of supplement I think you would be better off using over a long period of time as the studies suggest. Berberine can lower blood sugar levels by increasing the body's ability to use sugar and inhibiting the absorption of sugar in the intestine. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting a supplement like berberine.
