My friend give to me this kind of plant that she named Insulin.
I planted Insulin plant for 5 years, and it is grown more in my backyard.
Some of my foreign friends here ask a favor to have this Insulin plant.
They intake this plant to low their sugar of their body.
I did not try to use this plant or intake cause I am afraid if this plant is a herbal medicine or not, but I see them chewing the leaves directly to the mouth.
I plant this because I attracted the yellow flower of this.
How about you, have you tried or experience in taking this kind of herbal plant?

I have never even heard of this kind of plant. I do have aloe plants in my yard, and I use them for skin care, as aloe is really good for the skin.

@vilma143 I have five of them in my backyard, and they are huge! My neighbor also has about 10 in his yard as well. Their cooling gel works great for sunburns!

@vilma143 Yes, I saw it now. I think I have seen it before. I can't remember where. Maybe the photo is too big. You can resize or you can use Canva, it's an app where you can create templates for photos.

@erictsuma, Yes, thank you, that is true, what I interested in that plant is the yellow flower of the plant, but when some of India man visit my place and seen that plant, he claim that the flower is a herbal medicine for high sugar or diabetic, he chew the plant leaf in front of me, telling his knowledge about the plant. It taste sour when I tried to chew one leaf.

@vilma143 that is the claim of the proponents of the insulin plant. It came from India. But I do not try eating it because I am not diabetic.

@DianneN, Yes, me too, but when an India man visit to my farm, he claim this plant is a herbal medicine for a diabetic patient, and he chew the one leaf and share to me his knowledge about the plant. I taste the leaf, it taste sour and the flower taste sweet. More patient of diabetic ask a favor for this plant and I share this to them the branch to let them plant 'cause the plant will grow easily in the ground not in a pot. Hopefully, I help them is such a way. Thanks again.

@vilma143 I searched the net and I found image of the insulin plant . it's very rare and few researchers have found eating the leaves does reduce glucose level in diabetic patients.
