Hey guys
So I’ve started up taking a small amount of insulin, 5 ius, pre workout so in addition I decided to add in some berberine as well. Yesterday after my workout all my post workout carby meals I took some Berberine which I’ve used in the past and about an hr after I started feel super nauseous, tired, dizzy, lightheaded . So I checked my blood sugar to find it was in range and later was able to put together that it could be a blood pressure issue. My diastolic bp was under 60, 48 at its lowest which prompted me to do some googling to find that Metoprolol and Berberine can have a negative interaction causing low blood pressure. Has anything like this happening to anyone here before? If so how did you end up managing your insulin sensitivity? Metformin seems like the next logical progression but I also worry about potential interactions there.
