#### Good afternoon everyone! Today, I'm going to share with you information about the herbal plant I am using every day for my diabetes problem.

I am generally a sick person since childhood. My father carried me when I went to school during elementary grade. I never stop dreaming and study harder and thanks to God for giving me life until now. Being assigned in the mountains is a big factor for the benefit of my health. 2014, the doctor removed my spleen. Spleen took all my platelet, just like it was sipping all my platelets every day and it became a rare problem to my health. It was supposed to kill me in silence. So now, I have mo a spleen anymore for 7 years. Spleen is a part of our internal organ that is then responsible for the antibodies. After removing my spleen, the doctor said, I will be more sensitive. And it happened, I have hypertension and extra sugar in my blood, diabetic person. I have a lot of pharmaceuticals medicine as maintenance. To help myself financially, I am also taking herbal from the surrounding here. Someone told about the likway plant to lower blood sugar. And I can attest to you how amazingly happen to me.

*This is likway a plant, I intended to plant in the backyard, in case I come to my house during vacation.* #### Procedures:

*Cut some branches with the leaves*

*This stem and leaves will be boiled for 10 minutes.*

*Cut the stem and leaves and put into the casserole*

*The tiny smallest casserole at home intended for boiling likway purposes only.*

*Remove from the fire and let it cool down.*

*I have my glass that nobody can use it. I transferred the water to it.*

*Look at the difference between the pure water and the herbal tea from the likway plant.* I drink it two to three times a week. Daily is too much according to the old indigent. I am only using this plant for my diabetes. My maintenance for the absence of spleen is everyday. My inhaler and nebulizer are there to support my health from asthma. Despite ofy health issues, I see tonit that I am a healthy teacher major in Mathematics to teach them well. My brain is still intact to be a proud teacher for 15 years. I thank the Lord God for giving me my sickness and health. It gave me a challenge that I survived. Life without challenge is boring. #### According to the Internet Lagikway (Abelmoschus manihot L. Medikus) is a perennial native shrub belonging to the mallow family Malvaceae. In other countries, the plant is known as sunset aibika, muskmallow, sunset Hibiscus, or Hibiscus manihot. It has a close resemblance to okra and gumamela.
