Man, that is a rub. Most studies on blood glucose are done from the standpoint of diabetics so I guess they just don't care where the glucose is going but only that blood glucose is being controlled. Not that I particularly know what I am talking about.

Fenugreek is definitely pretty well known for lowering blood glucose. I don't know if the studies on rats were the same ones that I read, but it is interesting to note that fenugreek had no effect when given alone in the studies I saw. But when it was given simultaneously with glucose a significant reduction in blood glucose occured. That may be a significant consideration and many other studies have found it to be antidiabetic in that it controls blood sugar in the PRESENSE of excess glucose. I too can find no conclusions as to where the glucose is supposed to be going. Seems just as likely to me that it could be increasing fat storage as anything else.

It is turning up in fat burners all over the place though.

Another well known effect of fenugreek that I have warned people about is its very rapid gastrointestinal coating. it can reduce the absorption of other things you may be taking with it. Something to keep in mind.

If I find or see anything else about it, I'll be sure to let you know, hrdgain.
