Berberine has been shown to regulate glucose and lipid metabolism in vitro and in vivo. This pilot study was to determine the efficacy and safety of berberine in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. In study A, 36 adults with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus were randomly assigned to treatment with berberine or metformin (0.5 g 3 times a day) in a 3-month trial. The hypoglycemic effect of berberine was similar to that of metformin. Significant decreases in hemoglobin A(1c) (from 9.5% +/- 0.5% to 7.5% +/- 0.4%, P < .01), fasting blood glucose (from 10.6 +/- 0.9 mmol/L to 6.9 +/- 0.5 mmol/L, P < .01), postprandial blood glucose (from 19.8 +/- 1.7 to 11.1 +/- 0.9 mmol/L, P
