Dandelion root and chamomille tea and Metformin

Im interested in trying this dandelion root and chamomille tea elixir at night to lower my morning highs. Does anyome know if this is safe to use along with metformin?

  1. Hi . Since dandelion root might lower your blood sugar levels, you should probaby ask your doctor whether it's safe to use. Even if your doctor approves, I would probably keep a close eye on your blood sugar to be sure you don't become hypoglycemic. Do you use a continuous glucose monitor? - Lori (Team Member)

    1. Thanks for the reply. I dont use a monitor. From what Ive read and seen here, I will have to check with my Doc. Thanks so much

  2. I’ve seen some people mention dandelion root can affect blood sugar, so mixing it with metformin might drop you lower than expected. Not saying you can’t try it just maybe check with your doc and keep an eye on your numbers.

    1. Thank you for the insight
