Fenugreek (methi) soaked water
1–2 teaspoons of fenugreek seeds soaked overnight in 200–250 ml water; drink the water (and a few softened seeds if tolerated) in the morning.How it may help: Methi’s soluble fiber and 4‑hydroxyisoleucine can blunt post‑meal spikes; start 3–4 days/week and monitor readings if you track glucose. Avoid if you have seed allergies.

Cinnamon (dalchini) infusion
Simmer 1 small Ceylon cinnamon stick (or 1/2 tsp powder) in 250 ml water for 5–7 minutes; sip warm before or with a carb‑heavy meal.How it may help: Cinnamon polyphenols are studied for insulin sensitivity and fasting glucose support. Choose Ceylon to limit coumarin; keep to food‑level amounts.
