Fenugreek lowers blood sugar levels
Goats rue also lowers blood sugars.
Combine the two and you have a prescription cocktail dressed in disguise to cause dangerous low blood sugar levels known as Hypoglycemia.
Hypoglycemia (also spelled hypoglycaemia or hypoglycæmia, not to be confused with hyperglycemia) is a medical emergency that involves an abnormally diminished content of glucose in the blood.[1] The term literally means "low blood sugar" (Gr. ὑπογλυκαιμία, from hypo-, glykys, haima). It can produce a variety of symptoms and effects but the principal problems arise from an inadequate supply of glucose to the brain, resulting in impairment of function (neuroglycopenia). Effects can range from mild dysphoria to more serious issues such as seizures, unconsciousness, and (rarely) permanent brain damage or death.[2][3]

If you have any doubt, ELLACRAIG ended up in the hospital after fainting from using this combination, bruised ribs, a gash in her chin ensued resulting in stitches. The situation could have been much worse had she not been at home when this happened, very scary indeed.
A cautionary tale for sure, herbs do carry risks. As with anything always check with your primary care physician. And a general rule do not exceed the recommended dosage. The higher (or more) the better theory for supplements is completely false.
