I'm seeing more an more references to fenugreek seed, aka Trigonellae

Foeni-graeci, aka Hu Lu Ba, in the literature on diabetes.

 

Unfortunately Western research is not differnciating among test subjects

with diabetes according to TCM syndromes. If they did, we would be able to

predict even better exactly which diabetics would benefit from fenegreek

seeds and which wouldn't.

 

One thing I would like to see more information on is how many of the

diabetics who are responding favorably to Hu Lu Ba suffer specifically from

Wasting and Thirsting Syndrome of the Lower Burner (Kidneys, etc.) WITH Yang

Deficiency. Semen (seed of) Trigonellae Foeni-graeci is classified as a

Yang tonic herb.
