Why combinations need a doctor
Diabetes medicines are dosed to bring blood sugar into a target range. Adding berberine, chromium, gymnema, cinnamon or bitter melon could push it lower than intended. NCCIH advises people taking medicines to talk with their health care providers before taking berberine (NCCIH).
Medicines to ask about
- Metformin (MedlinePlus).
- Insulin and sulfonylureas, which carry the highest low-sugar risk.
- Blood pressure and cholesterol medicines.

Questions for your doctor
- Is it safe to add MetaGlucent to my current medicines?
- Should I check my blood sugar more often at first?
- What reading should prompt me to call you?
- When should we recheck my A1C?
If your doctor says yes
Your doctor may suggest checking your blood sugar more often for the first few weeks, especially before meals and at bedtime, and adjusting medicine if readings run low. Keep a log and bring it to your next visit. Keep fast-acting sugar (glucose tablets or juice) on hand if you use insulin or sulfonylureas (MedlinePlus). See normal blood sugar levels.
Bring the bottle
Show your doctor or pharmacist the Supplement Facts panel so they see every ingredient. See MetaGlucent vs metformin and is MetaGlucent safe?
