Hi folks,
Which supplements would you advise for sugar cravings? Bloodworks showed that blood sugars are in range, on the lower side.
Thanks

Thanks man. A couple questions about berberine:
* Since my blood sugars are already on the lower end, do you think that I could risk hypoglycemia and develop diabetes in the long run?
* Does it affect the immune system in any way? I'm wondering if it would be more suited for TH1 or TH2-dominant people.
Thanks

do you think that I could risk hypoglycemia
Yes, you absolutely can drop it too low.
and develop diabetes in the long run?
No way. It does the opposite. It sensitizes you to insulin. Diabetes is when you are desensitized to insulin.
Does it affect the immune system in any way? I'm wondering if it would be more suited for TH1 or TH2-dominant people.

Berberine suppresses TH1, but not TH2.
