Here We Go Again: The Misguided Approach to Managing Type 2 Diabetes

It's time to address the outdated and illogical method proposed by some "natural medicine" advocates when it comes to managing type 2 diabetes. Put simply, this "solution" is premised on a fundamental misunderstanding of biology, physiology, and biochemistry.

Take a gander at this 12-week randomized controlled trial analyzed by Examine.com. Involving 33 adults (18 women and 15 men) with type 2 diabetes, those taking 1,200 milligrams of berberine and 600 milligrams of cinnamon daily experienced a reduction in HbA1c, the primary outcome, by 0.4%.

On the surface, that may sound like a step in the right direction, but let's dig deeper to see why it's almost irrelevant.

The Berberine-Cinnamon Combination: Benefits and Drawbacks

Beyond the reduction in HbA1c, this study revealed that berberine and cinnamon also improved fasting blood glucose and LDL cholesterol compared to a placebo. However, consider the downsides:

A significant number – 8 participants – dropped out of the intervention group, while 3 participants dropped out from the placebo group. Among the remaining from the intervention group, 5 people reported side effects, with 5 of them experiencing diarrhea.

The issue here is that both berberine and cinnamon are plant defense chemicals and, accordingly, extremely toxic. The high dropout rate and reported side effects should serve as red flags. Furthermore, diarrhea, commonly experienced among those consuming berberine, would likely impact nutrient absorption, particularly carbohydrates, and skew the results.

Berberine: A Double-Edged Sword?

The main reason berberine, and to some extent, cinnamon, can lower blood glucose and improve "glycemic control" is due to their extreme toxicity. Berberine is a plant-derived compound that functions as a defense chemical, protecting the plant from pathogens and environmental stressors.

When you consume berberine, your body will induce a fight-or-flight stress response to quickly neutralize the toxin and help you escape danger. This response boosts metabolism, causing the body to utilize glucose more efficiently. This temporarily increased metabolism is at least partially responsible for the observed reductions in HbA1c in some studies on more healthy individuals.

However, in type-2 diabetics, this stress response may be less effective, as their cells are heavily damaged by chronic hyperglycemia. As a result, the stress response will only modestly reduce HbA1c over 12 weeks, and those with diarrhea will likely absorb less glucose, further skewing the results.

The Flawed LDL Argument

Reducing LDL cholesterol, which transports cholesterol to damaged tissue for repair, is catastrophic for patients with type 2 diabetes, who are desperately in need of tissue healing. When the body suddenly reduces LDL production due to medication or toxic compounds, healing is halted, causing more harm than good.

While supporters of the berberine-cinnamon approach may consider this beneficial, it's nothing short of idiotic to deny the body's natural healing process.
