Tweetwhen the doc put me on it for insulin resistance he went with 500 1x per day and it helped my fasted glucose quite a bit. we had no need to go above the one 500mg daily dose. something else that we have tinkered with and i still do is using either lantus treseba or humalog. with the first 2 it is one 5-10iu injection daily and if you go the log route then you do 3-6iu with your heavier carb meals. the theory and thought process is that it allows the pancreas beta cells to recover and bring insulin sensitivity back. i did learn of it from palumbo but also had the conversation with my doc and see if he thought it would work. i did it pretty effectively this past year with no issues at all. i will say and i know you cant use it but i keep berberrine in at 500 at a min daily and i increase it to 1500 or 2g when i have cheat meals.

Gotcha! Like hearing the good parts. So far so good on my end. Will just keep an eye on things if it can help me get past my plateaus then great! If not will move onto the next thing!
