Metformin plumps up the metabolic activity of the cell. So, in the case of poor glucose transport, a healthier cell is better at transporting glucose than one that is not so healthy. By the same token, a heathy cell does a lot of other things better than an unhealthy cell including dealing with cancer, toxins, infections etc.

My question is do substances like Berberine accomplish the same thing. Some people can't tolerate Metformin.....

I have to admit...because metformin has been used for a long time for diabetes, I assumed it was yet another useless side-effect-generating poison. To learn that it might actually be useful is a shock to me.
