A member asked:
Does soaking okra in water and drinking the water lower blood sugar ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The carbohydrate in okra supposedly slows the uptake of sugar into the blood.stream. But this can be said of the soluble fiber in lots of foods. It is not a treatment for diabetes. I can't believe okra water would do even THAT much.
