I have issues with glucose too. Tried biotin at around 3o mg twice a day at first, then narrowed down to 3omg a day after about 2 weeks. I took it together with 0.5-1g of Niacinamide. What can I say - I started feeling lovely. Much more positive and sane. Initially, biotion provoked a big headache, I was worried it would continue, but I read that people slowly uped their dose to go around it. I made a pause for a few days, and it went away. Feel so much better since.
Another side of things, I had my feet hardening for a while, getting pedicures didn't help much. I know diabetics often report this sort of thing. The problem is gone, I almost have baby feet again (well, feet are very soft and don't really need grooming).
I ran out of niacinamide, and I would say the effect from biotin diminished, not feel as emotionally stable any more. But I have been through a rough time lately and caught a flu, so this conclusion might just be bogus.
At first, I started feeling a little bit nauseous on high dose Biotin, kind of a strange feeling not that different to when I first went on Metformin until I adjusted to it. I backed off some on the Biotin doses, but now I'm taking more without problem.
Did you lose weight using it? (if that was one of your concerns)
