This is a follow up episode to the show titled 'Controlling Blood Sugar - Diet.'

 

 

Instead of focusing on my personal experience, we cover the science of how berberine is supposed to help with blood sugar levels.

 

 

Clarifications:

 

I state that a possible benefit of berberine is to inhibit (stop) gluconeogenesis. 

 

 

I believe I interpreted the literature wrong. It used the term inhibit, but in this case inhibit means to hinder. 

 

 

So by downregulating (which I also got the definition wrong) gluconeogenic enzymes, gluconeogenesis is reduced.

 

 

Downregulation in this context is to diminish the stimulus response of the enzymes on the liver.
