I had gestational diabetes, and methi leaves are actually great for controlling blood sugar levels. But you have to be very careful with the quantity because too much can cause uterine stimulation. Cook it well and eat it in moderate amounts, keeping your blood sugar levels tracked.
My mother-in-law often tells me to include methi in my diet as it's good for digestion, but I always prefer to double-check with my gynac. Eating a small amount of methi leaves in dal or sambar is safe and healthy, but don't overdo it. Always listen to your doctor first.
Fenugreek leaves (methi) are rich in iron and fiber, which is great. However, my doctor explained that in large medicinal quantities or as seeds, it can stimulate uterine contractions due to oxytocin-like compounds. So, eating normal methi ki sabzi occasionally is totally fine, but avoid concentrated supplements.
With my PCOS history, I was always extra careful about what I ate. Methi leaves in small amounts as normal food are perfectly fine and actually help with insulin sensitivity. Just don't take methi seeds or water in large amounts as a remedy without asking your doctor.
Yes, cooked methi leaves are really good for your health and help with iron levels! I used to eat methi paratha occasionally and had a very smooth pregnancy. Just keep it in moderation and eat healthy, home-cooked food.
