Fermented millet drinks lower blood sugar without medication
  • In a small cohort of pre‑diabetic patients, daily ambali reduced fasting glucose by 15‑20 mg/dL within six weeks.
  • The drink’s low glycemic index combined with probiotic activity improves insulin sensitivity by modulating gut‑derived short‑chain fatty acids.
  • Dr. Vali cites his own experience: after three months of ambali, his insulin requirement dropped to zero, and he no longer needed tablets.
  • He warns that commercial sugary drinks mimic the taste of ambali but lack the probiotic benefit, leading to opposite effects.
  • The insight suggests ambali as a cost‑effective adjunct to lifestyle interventions for metabolic syndrome.
