Although there is no direct evidence that okra can treat diabetes, but because it belongs to vegetables and low sugar content, people with diabetes and high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia and obesity can be eaten. "If people like to eat okra, it is not a problem to eat 300-500g every day, but people with indigestion and diarrhea should not eat more."
