Diabetes management requires a careful combination of balanced diet + regular exercise + medicine/insulin. Fenugreek seeds are rich in fibre & will not cause weight gain. Best time to have fenugreek soaked water is 15 mins prior your main 3 meals. (BF, L, DN). Losing weight will help reduce insulin resistance & improve blood sugar levels. Here are some tips for weight loss: 1. Have small frequent meals at 2-3 hrs interval instead of 3-4 large meals only. In between balanced main meals-(comprising of a whole grain, whole legume/egg/fish/chicken, low fat dairy, whole fruits, vegetables, salad); include healthy snacks in between-whole fruit, roasted makhana, roasted chana (unsalted), nuts & oilseeds, soup, stew, buttermilk, salted lassi, boiled egg, green tea. 3. Avoid junk, fried, processed, preserved, sugary foods & drinks, alcohol. 4. Replace simple carbs (sugar, jaggery, honey, maida, sago, cornflour, arrowroot flour, potato, biscuit, cake, white rice, white bread) with complex carbs (whole fruits, vegetables, salads, whole grains-atta, dalia, suji, oats, millets, barley, brown rice, atta bread, quinoa, whole legumes-sprouts, soyabean, pseudo cereals-rajgira, makhana, & nuts, oilseeds). 5. Avoid skipping meals. Avoid feasting & fasting. 6. Have early & light dinner. 7. Sleep & wake up early. Have a sound sleep. Avoid use of mobile, laptop etc at bedtime 8. Brisk walk gives best result if done early morning. In evening if done a gap of 3 hrs should be maintained after meal. 9. Walk/ cycle instead of taking transport, take stairs instead of lift/ escalator. 10. Avoid sleeping in afternoon. Light nap of 20 mins is ok. 11. Avoid eating in front of TV 12. Cleaning (brooming/mopping/dusting)/cooking/gardening/washing car/ other household activities also help in weight loss. 13. Include bitter gourd, aloe vera, okra, jamun in daily diet. Sweet potato is a suitable alternative to potato.

Mr. lybrate-user, Looking at your weight and height, it is clear that you have grade 1 obesity with a BMI of 31.42 kg/M2. This itself can cause high blood glucose level. Plus the levels mentioned are high, ideally fasting should be around 100 mg, PP 150 to 160 mg & HbA1c%<6.8. So there is a need to bring down the glucose levels. Fenugreek seeds are good, the contain fibers and are helpful in controlling glucose levels. Thanks.
