It’s not just my view. Berberine is clinically documented to improve insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake, used heavily in diabetic protocols. I'll take my blood sugar readings tomorrow with full belly of rice, dextrose, honey cinnamon, Mutant mass, banana and skim milk tomorrow. (My preworkout meal for AM gym time)
Three times 3 pics..
1. When I wake up pre BML
2. An hour after my preworkout meal
3. An hour after my post workout meal which is the same as pre but with chicken
When tested in the past I've been level.. fluctuation but no spikes. We shall see what tomorrow brings
As promised yesterday..
Morning fasted BGR 5.3
After I had a huge breakfast of beef onion, feta, Greek yogurt on a wrap with nanos puri puri sauce (someone said i should eat more beef and it sounded good so a bit of a variance). Banana and a spoon of honey.
