Avoid Sugar, wheat, potato,rice and packed foods. Regular exercise and meditation. Increase intake of raw vegetables and fruits. Use boiled water for drinking. Soak 5-10 grams Fenugreek seeds in lukewarm water overnight. Then drink water and chew Fenugreek in the morning. Follow up after 4weeks.

An A1C of 7 and cholesterol of 300 both need active management, so focus on consistent lifestyle changes rather than one single remedy. Fenugreek seeds can be supportive. A common way is 1 teaspoon soaked overnight and taken in the morning, or lightly powdered and taken before meals, depending on digestion. They may help support blood sugar and lipid metabolism, but should be used along with diet and lifestyle changes. Helpful steps: • Prefer high-fiber foods (vegetables, whole grains, legumes) • Reduce refined carbs, sugar, fried foods and trans fats • Include regular physical activity (at least 30–40 minutes most days) • Maintain proper sleep and stress control • Add healthy fats like nuts and seeds in moderation Other supportive options sometimes used include amla, garlic or triphala, but selection should be individualized. Since your levels are significantly elevated, proper consultation is recommended to create a structured plan and monitor progress safely.

The best way to do it is by removing the ama i.e metabolic waste accumulated in your body and then rejuvenating it with proper medicines and therapy. Hinguashtakam choorna 3 gm with butter milk twice daily before food You can take chandraprabha vati 1 tab twice daily after food Nisakatakadhi kashayam 15 ml twice daily before food mixed with 60 ml luke warm water Avipathy choorna 5gm mixed with honey at bed time Along with following a proper diet chart. Reach out to me with your height,weight, recent blood reports and the usual diet you follow and I will prepare you a personalized diet chart charting every meal for one month. Food is the best medicine
