My friend has a daughter that's T1 and 16 years old. She posted this for us on facebook for us to see, as she was very upset that someone sent it to her. Personally, I am about to blow my top with all the talk lately of 'cures.' Let me just leave it at, "if any of this BS (not blood sugar!) were actually true that's being thrown around, we wouldn't be having this conversation right now." :mad:

If it cures, it should prevent as well. I shouldn't have diabetes then, because I've eaten lot of it. Never mind, mine was fried in corn meal.

Maybe it only works if you soak it in water, but don't eat the okra? My mistake has been eating it all these years. ;)

I love the part that says "U have to keep taking it for a few months before U see results, as most cases might be chronic". :rolleyes:

I had okra last night and better BG this morning. May have been the cornmeal. No, just kidding. I'm sure it was the fact I finally got my glycogen back down with the exercising. Went on my bike ride at a little over 100, came in at 74. A 77 three hours later and that was before okra.

If looking for a cure, you walk the shoulder of a local road facing oncoming traffic until you find a 2009 penny laying heads up. If it fell out of a 2012 Toyota Corona 4 door, was only run over by the right rear inner tire of a 2007 dodge 1 ton with 235 85 R16 Cooper tires, pick it up, spit on the head, wipe it off, and put it in your left front pocket. Cross the road and walk back home. That won't cure you but if you do that every day and keep your carbs down, it won't hurt, unless you never find the penny.

Well, I guess the okra's supposed to be raw, so you get the full slime effect.

Think I'll pass, only now I neeeed a bowl of gumbo! Good for what ails ya, even if it can't cure it.

Hmmmm ... we've got some recipes right here!
