To the best of my knowledge Kokam has not direct implications on diabetes unless you are having kokam sharbat with added sugar in it. If all you do is take kokam juice (no sugar added) with water, it will have the same effect of having lemon/ lime juice or amla juice in water. It is an antacid and promotes alkalinity in the body which is good for health.

Kokum is garcinia indica...and  a similar cousin is called Garciia Kombogia....which i used for weight loss.

Kokam added to very dilute buttermilk is excellent digestive. Helps reduce gastric problems. You can even add different spices like Coriander leaves or asafoetida or garlic or ginger. Yummy!
