Ongoing… This is the issue with taking a lot of substances at the same time… I was taking a lot of grams of glycine during my experiment with higher acarbose rates which I believe, along with the acarbose and jardiance lowers glucose… I stopped taking glycine while still taking jardiance 25 and 600 mg of acarbose (300, twice daily with or without food), and wasnt near hypoglycemia. The one on the line hypoglycemic reading I got was jardiance 25, acarbose 700 a day (twice 350 with to without food) and a lot of grams of glycine with my coffee… I’m in limbo with whether or not I want to continue with glycine. If I stop taking it I will probably go even higher than the 600 daily (300 twice daily with or without food) acarbose, maybe towards 1000. If I continue with the glycine, I will probably stop at 600 (twice daily with or without food) acarbose with jardiance 25.

Maybe you’ve found some data on dose range for acarbose? I’ll admit I haven’t looked but there definitely will be an upper limit where you will not get any more serum glucose reduction as you increase the Acarbose dose. If I had to guess I’d think it would be down around 100-200 mg / meal.
Do you see a clear difference in glucose spikes between an acarbose dose of 100 /meal and a dose of 300 / meal? I guess if the meal is high in carbohydrates one might see an affect but then IMO a better approach would be to cut down on the carbs rather than take more acarbose.

Starting Aug 2024(the conversation), I think thats what was in the itp(?) tests equivalent human dosage. Around 800? I’m a big man a 200 pounds so I would take a bit more

I’m quoting this again despite being two months old but this is so helpful to see. It shows that 50mg per meal could be enough and that we don’t need veery big doses like the ITP used.
