Integrative approach to Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is managed conventionally with metformin and GLP-1 agonists. Integrative protocols address insulin sensitivity, mitochondrial function, inflammation, and nutrient depletions from medications.

Evidence highlight

Berberine (500mg TID) matches metformin on HbA1c reduction in multiple head-to-head RCTs, with additional benefit on lipids — Grade A evidence.

Commonly used supplements

Key interaction flags

Berberine + metformin (additive hypoglycemia)

Alpha lipoic acid + insulin (hypoglycemia risk)

Metformin depletes B12 and folate

Clinical note

Metformin-induced B12 depletion affects 10-30% of long-term users and is systematically underscreened. Any patient on metformin >1 year should have B12 and folate checked.
