Yes u can take it . But Because you are on insulin: - Risk of hypoglycemia is high Dose must be individualized Blood sugar monitoring is mandatory Regular monitoring of blood sugar is important to avoid it dropping too low.

Yes, you can take Gudmar (Gymnema) powder along with insulin and Metformin. In Ayurveda, diabetes (Madhumeha) is mainly due to Kapha imbalance and Meda (fat metabolism) disorder. Gudmar (Meshashringi) is known as a “sugar destroyer”—it helps reduce blood glucose and improves insulin function. Dose: ½ teaspoon Gudmar powder Timing: Before meals, twice daily Take with lukewarm water Important Precautions Monitor blood sugar regularly (fasting & post-meal) Do not stop or reduce insulin on your own Why HbA1c is stuck at 7.5 Your main issue seems to be: Irregular diet (Mandagni / poor digestion) Incomplete lifestyle discipline Fix meal timings (very important) Avoid: sugar, refined flour, fried foods Include: barley, methi seeds, karela, neem Continue exercise daily Add Triphala at night for metabolism correction
