One should not depend on ladies fingers for the control of diabetes. It is good to include this as a part of healthy diet as it has lot of dietary fibre which is good for health.

Some people do claim that it reduces blood sugar levels. However, there is no consensus on this. Personally for me, it did not make any measurable change in blood sugar. Same goes for bitter gourd. Best approach is - monitor your blood sugar to see if it affects your BS before making any change in medications.

Cutting down dietary carbohydrate including sugar is much more effective in limiting the rise in blood sugar. Try to avoid/limit GPS in your diet.

Please cut down Carbs and include more healthy fats and increase your physical activities. Ladies finger or cinnamon or beetel leaves can be part of your diet. In my case, none of the above had a great impact on my BS
