Did you know that you may be able to completely reverse type 2 diabetes by following dietary and lifestyle changes that eliminate sugar and starches.

Several studies show that berberine can lower blood glucose as effectively as metformin, without the negative side effects. Berberine can also decrease hemoglobin A1c, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol and blood pressure (Metabolic Syndrome).

Doing a fasting insulin blood test is the best marker for insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. Your level should be less than 5.
Insulin resistance is a condition where your body’s cells don’t respond properly to insulin, a hormone that helps glucose (sugar) from food enter cells for energy. Instead of effectively moving glucose out of the bloodstream and into cells, the body requires more insulin to achieve the same effect. This can lead to higher-than-normal blood sugar levels and, over time, can contribute to prediabetes, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
If you are currently taking medications, you need to talk with your doctor so that your physician can monitor your blood sugar and current medication levels.
