Fenugreek leaves or methi leaves are rich in vitamins minerals, iron, calcium, and proteins increase their culinary value while fenugreek seeds, being a rich source of dietary soluble fiber helps provide essential control on various health conditions such as body fluids, blood pressure, heart rate, and diabetes mellitus.

How does it affect diabetes?

Fenugreek seeds are high in soluble fiber, which helps lower blood sugar by slowing down digestion and absorption of carbohydrates This indicates they may be effective in treating people with diabetes.

Several clinical trials showed that fenugreek seeds can improve most metabolic symptoms associated with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes in humans by lowering blood glucose levels and improving glucose tolerance. In one study, researchers in India found that adding 100 grams of defatted fenugreek seed powder to the daily diet of patients with insulin-dependent (type 1) diabetes significantly reduced their fasting blood glucose levels, improved glucose tolerance, and also lowered total cholesterol, LDL, or ‘bad cholesterol and triglycerides.

Best ways of consuming fenugreek seeds -
  1. Dry roast fenugreek seeds on medium-high heat for one to two minutes, Stir frequently and add 1 teaspoon over curries, salads, and stir-fry dishes.

  2. Soak 1 teaspoon overnight in water and gulp the next morning with 1 glass of water

  3. Sprout fenugreek seeds by soaking them in water overnight, keeping them in a jar covered with a cloth for a few days until tiny green shoots appear. The sprouted fenugreek seeds can be added to any kind of salad.

  4. Fresh fenugreek leaves can be added to rotis, parathas, dosas, and idlis.

  5. Herbal teas made with fenugreek seeds, lemon, and honey are an effective remedy used to treat fevers.

Caution - Before using fenugreek to treat your diabetes, consult your GP and diabetes healthcare team to ensure it is safe. As with other blood sugar-reducing herbs, there is the risk that fenugreek may cause your blood sugars to go too low ( hypoglycemia ) when taken alongside prescribed diabetes drugs. As a result, the dose of your anti-diabetic medication might need to be changed.
