the medical world hears these "miracle" natural cures all of the time but as you know just because you read it on the internet or facebook in no way proves scientific efficacy. a person on insulin is likely to need that insulin. i do not believe that any amount or form of okra will "cure" diabetes. eating a diet balanced with ample vegetable (including okra if you want) will certainly help a diabetic control blood sugar but as far as i know there is nothing magic in okra. if there was dr. oz would have devoted a show to it or you would see research in the medical literature.
is there a link to the vegetable okra as a way of regulating or curing diabetes? . i have seen numerous posts on face book lately about cutting up okra placing it in water letting it soak overnight and drinking the okra-infused water the next morning as a way to regulate blood glucose levels and possibly "curing" the need for insulin! several articles also said to eat the okra once you drink the water. i am very curious as to whether there is any credibility to this. this would be so wonderful if it were true! your thoughts please!
