Just saw this today and went to check and see if it was true or not, but it seems to be valid. I can't think of why I might try it yet (since my diet and metformin has BS under control), but for anyone who might want to consider it before medication....let us know! Okra (lady's finger) Juice can Cure Diabetes - Facts Analysis | Health
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."
I forgot to mention when I posted this that I also know there's no cure, but was asking if it helped bring BS down. I will just continue to take my Metformin and eat low carb to manage mine.....okra is not on my menu at all in my lifetime!
This okra "cure" is sure making the rounds on the various diabetes forums. Sheesh....I can't believe my endo didn't tell me in 2007. Think of all the shots I could have avoided!!!!
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!
