Yes, you can take fresh neem powder along with Metformin, but with some precautions. Ayurvedic Understanding: In Ayurveda, diabetes (Madhumeha) is mainly due to Kapha–Pitta imbalance with Meda dhatu involvement. Neem (Nimba) is Tikta (bitter), cooling, and Kapha–Pitta pacifying, so it supports blood sugar control. How to Take Safely: Take ½ teaspoon neem powder with lukewarm water Best time: empty stomach in morning Keep at least 1–2 hours gap after Metformin Important Precautions: Both neem and Metformin lower blood sugar → risk of hypoglycemia Monitor your sugar levels regularly If you feel weakness, dizziness, or sweating, reduce or stop neem

thanks for your reply. Appreciate it. I do not wish to take the medicine for a long period. My consutant said that, if my hba1c comes to 6 from 9.5 then he will stop it. Basically I have nerves pain issue and that is my biggest concern.
Your symptoms suggest Diabetic neuropathy + Vata aggravation, where blood sugar imbalance affects nerve nourishment. for nerve pain Neem (Nimba) → helps reduce excess sugar and inflammation Ashwagandha → strengthens nerves and reduces burning/tingling Guduchi (Giloy) → supports glucose balance and immunity Brahmi → calms nerve irritation and improves recovery Warm oil massage (Abhyanga) with Mahanarayana oil → improves nerve circulation
