5 herbs to tackle type 2 diabetes

2. Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum)

This botanical has been found to improve glucose levels, presumably by decreasing absorption of glucose in the small intestine.

When researchers gave type 2 diabetic patients 10 grams of powdered fenugreek seeds per day soaked in hot water over 8 weeks, they found their fasting blood sugar was lowered by 25 percent and triglycerides by 30 percent.

Fenugreek seeds can be added to salads, soups, cereals, or yogurt.
