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
Labs to consider
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.
