okra slice in water overnight

hi everyone
An item widely circulated via social media in recent days advocated cutting the ends off a few okra slices, soaking the slices in water overnight, then drinking the water the following morning as a way of making “diabetes go away” and eliminating the need for diabetics to take Meds .

i hope to have your best answers

While Okra is certainly a healthy food, it is not going to cure your diabetes.

What will put your diabetes into remission?  OR at least simplify management:

1. Low carb diet
2. Exercise
3. Weight normalisation

I wouldn't buy into any 'magic cures' like that- it's probably true that there could be benefits to something like that (although off hand, I don't know about this one specifically)- but it's not going to cure medical issues like diabetes.  It would be nice if it were true though, wouldn't it?
