Till date there is no permanent cure from Diabetes in any system of medicine. In Ayurveda also Diabetes has been termed as Asadhya (incurable), but lots of herbs & remedies have been described for its prevention & control. The use of Fenugreek is of prime reverence for the management & control of Glucose levels in Diabetes. Owing to the excellent properties of Fenugreek described in Ancient Ayurvedic texts, the modern scientists have also concluded that there are number of active principles in Fenugreek like Amino Acids, Antioxidants & Saponins present in Fenugreek seeds that help to control glucose & cholesterol levels in the body.

FENUGREEK: The awareness & craze about Fenugreek as a Natural home remedy for the management & control of Diabetes is although increasing amongst the people yet most patients have a false assumption that eating Fenugreek seeds or leaves as a vegetable will help them. Moreoever, because of lack of knowledge, consumers & even normal grocers are not aware that there are two species of Fenugreek, one is Trigonella corniculata (known as Methe in Hindi), is a cultivated variety and the seeds of which is upto 4 mm in size and is mainly used as a flavouring agent & taste builder in Foods & Pickles. The right species is Trigonella foenum-graecum (known as Methi in Hindi), is a wild variety (although now cultivated also at very few places) the seeds of which are of 1-2 mm size and its leaves are also used as a vegetable in Indian households. The seeds of Trigonella foenum-graecum are the ones that contain various active principles for use as a medicine in Ayurveda.

FENUGREEK IN DIABETES: Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) has been elaborated in Ayurveda as an esteemed medicine for Madhumeha (Diabetes) as well as for various other problems. According to Ayurveda, because of their Snigdha (unctuous) & ushnaveeryam (warm potency), Methi (Fenugreek) seeds are helpful in balancing vitiated Pitta & Kapha doshas and pacifying vitiated Vata dosha. Being metabolic fire stimulant, Vata suppressant & Appetite stimulant in nature, Fenugreek stimulates the pancreas to normalise insulin secretion and digestive system for an effective control of Glucose & Cholesterol levels in the body. Modern scientific studies reveal that adding Methi (Fenugreek) to the diet normalises fasting blood sugar and improves after meal glucose levels. The studies also reveal that there is significant reduction in total cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglyceride levels, without reducing HDL (good) cholesterol levels.

SUGGESTIVE DIETARY REGIME FOR DIABETES MANAGEMENT:

Avoid excess intake of sweets, carbohydrates, and dairy products. Take more fresh vegetables and bitter herbs. Other useful foods include: roasted or fried barley, corn flour, light, bitter vegetables, barley porridge, rice used after frying, and herbs like cardamom, fenugreek, or coriander, mixed with honey. Barley is the main food to heal urinary diseases.

Eliminate all objects that contain sugar from diet, like wheat, rice, potato, sugar, sugar cane and its juice, sweet fruits. Reduce fats, especially butter and ghee from diet.

To control kapha in the body, eliminate sugar from diet. In Ayurveda, small amounts of honey are considered anti-kapha and fat melting. Use up to 2 or 3 teaspoons of raw, uncooked honey per day; cooked honey creates toxins in the body.

Low-fat, high-fiber vegetarian foods form the basis of any Ayurvedic diet. These foods also happen to be ideal for an anti-kapha, anti-diabetic diet, according. Eat mostly complex carbohydrates, which digest slowly over many hours and don’t cause a drastic jump in blood sugar. Beans, legumes, tubers and root vegetables like turnips are best for balancing blood sugar. Whole, unrefined grains, particularly millet, barley and buckwheat, break down more quickly but are also staples of the Ayurvedic diet. Minimize intake of wheat, including whole wheat, because wheat has cooling properties, which increases kapha.

A number of foods available in the typical Western diet can contribute to blood- sugar imbalances or increase in kapha. Avoid eating highly processed foods such as white-flour products including bread and pasta and sugary, fatty foods such as pastries, candy and ice cream. Reduce or eliminate red meat and dairy foods, particularly creamy and hard cheeses, from your diet. Chicken and fish are fine to be eaten in small portions.
