This is general dietary information, not medical advice. If you take insulin or a sulfonylurea (glimepiride, glipizide, gliclazide), reducing your carbohydrate intake — or adding foods like bitter gourd or fenugreek that lower glucose on their own — can cause hypoglycemia. Talk to your doctor before making changes, and monitor your glucose while you do.
