Since poor blood sugar regulation is typical of moms with PCOS and  
fenugreek regulates blood sugar, there is no reason to imagine this  
would not have been very helpful to this mom. Frankly, it is  
unfortunate that all moms with PCOS are not FIRST treated  
holistically before drugs are used. Fenugreek is a very safe food/ 
herb and for many women has very positive side effects related to gut  
health. A few women have gastric problems that require switching to  
different herbs.
