[QUOTE="VacationMan, post: 181875, member: 12425"] One of Defy's PAs noticed that my A1c was creeping up and had reached the point of pre-diabetes (type-2). She told me to try a supplement called Berberine. Comes in 250 mg capsules and doses just like Metformin. Added plus is that it doesn't have any of the gastric side effects of Metformin. Adding insult to injury, I also have Hashimotos (have to take both T4 and T3 meds). One of Defy's PAs suggested that I go on a gluten and dairy free diet. So between that and a significant reduction in sugar intake, I've managed to bring my fasting glucose below 90 and my A1c to a very comfortable 4.8 to 5.0. Added bonus is that the gluten/dairy free diet has reduced my thyroid antibodies by 50% (they're still elevated though). It's helped me. [/QUOTE]
