Here's the paper: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6307759/

I'm currently functional (3 days so far) after taking a dodgy combo of St John's Wort, Lithium Orotate and L-Tryptophan (risks Serotonin syndrome, not recommended...). But yesterday and today I took no pills at all and have stayed functional, no suicidal thoughts. So that is something....but am going to try the Berberine perhaps!
Oh - Berberine is apparently also good for weight loss and diabetes and other stuff too...

I've just got hold of some of this to try and help modulate my blood sugar, thanks to the recommendation of @Viro_Major .
However, I'm holding off taking it for the moment as I intend to give myself an ad hoc Oral Glucose Tolerance Test first. Which...I'm also putting off because it's unpleasant.

Edit: and a very interesting paper, thank you for the link.

It's a large glucose load from fasting, followed by 5 hours without food and constant blood tests. In a clinical setting it would be easier as blood would be taken at intervals from a canula. At home I'll have to use a blood glucose device, take my own pin prick samples and use an ad hoc regime. Not very clinical.
Ideally, to compensate for this and get the best blood glucose reaction to a glucose load, I'd want to take a reading every half hour for five hour, so ten finger pricks. I think in the clinical test they do two readings at each sample, so that would make twenty tests! I'm not doing that, 10 is enough. So it's fairly unpleasant, especially if I do have a reactive hypo. I don't think I will and I'd have something on standby to counter it.
But the normal fasting glucose test doesn't test any reaction to food and the HbA1c is by it's nature a 3 month average, so any reactionary peaks and troughs will be averaged out. I want to shed light on my reaction to food.
And yes, I should have this done at a hospital ideally, but there is no danger of that right now.
