Safety Concerns

If you are already on a treatment plan for your diabetes, you should let your doctor know if you are looking into holistic treatments like okra. In one study, it was shown to block the absorption of metformin. Metformin is a drug that is used to help manage blood sugar levels. If you are taking metformin currently, okra is not something you should experiment with.

Check your Fasting blood sugar (FBS), post prandial blood sugar (PPBS) and HbA1c.

Target: FBS = < 100mg/dL. PPBS= <140 mg/dL. HbA1c = < 6.4%.

Adopt low carbohydrate diet.

Engage in brisk walking daily for about 30 minutes.

Over time, people who have diabetes and high blood sugar can develop serious or life-threatening complications, including heart disease, stroke, kidney problems, nerve damage, and eye problems.

Taking medication(s), making lifestyle changes (e.g., diet, exercise, quitting smoking), and regularly checking your blood sugar may help to manage your diabetes and improve your health. This

therapy may also decrease your chances of having a heart attack, stroke, or other diabetes-related complications such as kidney failure, nerve damage (numb, cold legs or feet; decreased sexual ability in men and women), eye problems, including changes or loss of vision, or gum disease. Your doctor and other healthcare providers will talk to you about the best way to manage your diabetes.

If your blood sugar is above normal, you should take anti-glycemic medication in consultation with a diabetologist.
