Controlling blood sugar may help reduce cardiovascular risk, particularly in people predisposed to or coping with obesity and diabetes. Recent studies have suggested that okra might help lower blood sugar in patients with diabetes as well as expectant mothers with gestational diabetes. Also, a diet including okra might help maintain healthy blood sugar levels in asymptomatic people, thus acting as a natural and convenient preventive agent.
