This is hearsay so I thought I'd ask about it.

A guy, who knows a dude, has a friend who's a top diabetes researcher. The researcher claims (through the dude and the guy) that if you blend a cucumber with some lime juice or coconut milk, your blood sugar will remain stable and there's nothing more to controlling type 2 than that.

It sounds a bit far fetched because cucumber doesn't really have any properties, it's about 90% water.

Anyone heard of such a thing?
 
His Nobel prize must be in the post.

It does sound delicious though.
 
It has been previously mentioned, found this.
"Cucumbers have been useful for diabetic patients for many years. Cucumbers possess a hormone required by the beta cells during insulin production. The Glycemic Index of cucumbers is actually zero. The presence of carbohydrates and their result on the body is measured by the quantity Glycemic Index. Every food item contains essential nutrients in different percentages. The carbohydrates contribute in raising the glucose level, however the carbohydrates present in the cucumber can be easily digested by diabetic patients. Thus, consumption of cucumbers keeps the glucose level in check. Nowadays, most commercial stores have cucumber supplements as spiny sea cucumber extract powder, which is very effective in combating the effects of diabetes"
 
Grapefruit and cucumber loves me and keeps my BG levels
stable I have found .
I 'do' love the taste of these plus craved cucumber
whilst expecting our only daughter .

Not on any statins so am completely safe with the grapefruit .
 
I'll try the cucumber and lime, sounds quite nice.
 
I've been trying the cucumber and lime blend for a few days now and each time I wait an hour and check again. My blood sugar goes up.

The blend is the first thing I eat after getting up and I eat nothing during the hour between blood checks. The blend adds 5 - 15 points so I'm goint to start trying it without the lime.
 
I have a cucumber every day with some lime juice.:depressed: My blood sugar seems pretty stable. It's either the cucumber/lime or having lost 2.5 stone, or the LCHF diet.:joyful: I dunno.
 
It does sound good, I had cucumber today at lunchtime.
Is this for all types of diabetes ? as I'm type 1 ?

RRB :)
