I have a friend who deal with Type 2 and she's taken Metformin and she has taken other meds also, and Metf might be what she is taking now. I know when she really took control of her eating she lost a lot of weight and was doing so so good. I don't see her much now so don't know how she's doing. She's been on and off so many diabetic meds. I've told her about Berberine, an alternative for Metf but she wouldn't hear me. Dr. Jonathan Wright talks up Berberine. C
