Previously (March 2021) I have written about the value of Berberine for diabetes here :

This very recent review of multiple studies adds further confirmation to the idea that berberine is quite useful for diabetes through multiple methods of action, not just for lowering glucose levels :

Here is a relevant quote from the review :

Based on previous research, BBR significantly reduced levels of fasting blood glucose, hemoglobin A1C, inflammatory cytokines, and oxidative stress markers. Furthermore, BBR stimulated insulin secretion and improved insulin resistance through different pathways, including up-regulation of protein expression of proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-γ, glucose transporter (GLUT) 4, PI3K/AKT, and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation. Interestingly, it was demonstrated that BBR has protective effects against diabetes complications, such as diabetic-induced hepatic damage, cardiovascular disorders, nephropathy, and neuropathy. Furthermore, multiple clinical trial studies have emphasized the ameliorative effects of BBR in type 2 diabetic patients.

The sum total of the research on berberine for diabetes type two seems very convincing, with wide-ranging healthful effects!
