Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.
Fenfuro contains mainly Fenugreek seeds that are well known medicine in Ayurveda for control of Diabetes.
As such still, there is no well authenticated and trusted study that has proved the effect of Fenugreek seeds in diabetes. These days it is under clinical trails and extensive studies are ongoing.
However, my clinical experience has been good with Fenugreek seeds BUT only in patients who are obese and are at risk of developing diabetes. There is a particular subset of patients who get benefitted by Fenugreek.
I would like to know a few details in order to help you regarding Fenugreek seeds.
1. Since how long are you suffering from diabetes?
2. What are your Fasting and Post Prandial Blood sugar levels?
3. What is your Glycosylated Hemoglobin – HbA1c?
4. Since how long are you on Linagliptin (Trajenta)?
5. What was your blood sugar level when you were started on Linagliptin and what is it now when you are on Linagliptin.
6. Are you taking any Anti platelet drug (blood thinners) like Ecospirin?
This is my best advice for you based on available details. If you have any further query please ask me and revert with the asked details for a better help.
Stay Healthy.
