I got blood work back a few weeks ago and my fasted glucose was 123. I bought a blood glucose monitor and started taking Berberine and Ala 3x a day. I’ve tested my fasting glucose a few times in the morning and it has been between 113-123.
Today I had 60g carbs during training and then 92g carbs after training. Before my pwo meal I took 500mg Berberine and 300mg ala. I tested my glucose 2 hours after my meal and it was 89.
Next time I’ll test my glucose after my PWO meal without the Berberine and ala and compare the results.
My question is, do you think the Berberine and ala caused my glucose to be normal after a meal? It hasn't had any significant effect on my fasted blood glucose despite taking them both 3x a day for a few weeks. Could I be experiencing dawn phenomenon and that’s why my glucose is high in the morning?
I’m not taking any GH, peptides or insulin.
Thanks
