Fenugreek Seeds

The dietary fibre present in fenugreek seeds, known as “Galactomannan,” is an important component that slows glucose digestion and absorption. As a result, blood sugar levels fall and the glucose tolerance improves.

Carom Seeds

These seeds can be used to control diabetes because of their fibre content, which helps to regulate blood sugar levels. Ajwain seeds contain anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and they aid in boosting metabolism.

Basil Seeds

Basil seeds are high in fibre. When diabetes patients were commonly given basil seeds shortly before meals in multiple trials, it avoided the blood sugar spike. They were quite helpful in lowering blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.

Pumpkin Seeds

Packed with compounds like Trigonelline (TRG), Nicotinic acid (NA), and D-chiro-inositol (DCI), pumpkin seeds are very good for diabetic patients. They also contain protein, dietary fibre, omega-6 fats and magnesium which are good for diabetes management.

Flax Seeds

These seeds are high in insoluble fibre, which helps the body’s blood sugar levels as well as our digestive health. A recent study found that flaxseeds had a better possibility of lowering the prevalence of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes due to the presence of flax lignan in them.
