Brief Answer:
fenugreek is very good for diabetes

Detailed Answer:
Dear sa'ad
i am very happy to see you again.
in my opinion the fenugreek supplement is very good for diabetes.
since from very olden days , fenugreek had proven it self in treatment of diabetes.
lots of clinical trials was done on it and in my opinion its the best natural available supplement for diabetes.

reading the health drinks we always should be careful as they contain dextrose and fructose in it this Dextrose nothing but a form of glucose.

The aloe Vera health drink contains fructose 30 gms and dextrose 10 gms which is slightly high for diabetes individuals so kindly avoids it.

Excessive consumption of this kind of drinks will shoot up your blood sugars and its not advisable.



The aloe Vera is a very good source of natural fiber. Aloe can be consumed directly in its natural form and its widely available in many parts of worlds.
many of health drinks also contains preservatives which might be harmful to body.
so where ever possible i suggest you to take natural forms of vegges and fruits incited of depending on packed ones with preservatives.
