Glucose-lowering effect of berberine on type 2 diabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Unknown authors
Published in Front Pharmacol
Key Findings
Berberine lowered fasting plasma glucose and HbA1c, with effects comparable to some oral hypoglycaemic agents in small trials.
Conclusions
Promising but trial quality is limited.
Supplements Studied
Berberine lowered fasting plasma glucose and HbA1c in randomized trials of type 2 diabetes.
the glucose-lowering effects of berberine are only under hyperglycemic conditions or in a high-glucose-dependent manner
Outcomes Measured
Berberine lowered fasting plasma glucose and HbA1c with effects comparable to some oral hypoglycaemic agents in small trials.
In order to shed light on the glucose-lowing effects of berberine in type 2 diabetes with different baseline fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), we conducted a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
