User Reviews for bitter melon

i'm always sceptical about any kind of treatment for diabetes, but i've been using bitter melon (bitter gourd) for a month now and i can't argue with the results. Before this, i would have frequent blood sugar readings over 200. Since starting the bitter melon, my readings have improved dramatically ranging between 65 to 145. The past four days have been my best results yet. My highest reading was 122. One other thing i've kept a close eye on is my carb intake. Eating a little better i'm sure has contributed to my results. Bitter melon may not be the cure all, but for me it's helped.Read More Read Less

I went to my MD for regular check up, and my blood sugar was elevated. My Hemoglobin A1C is 6, and was adviced to be on a diet and exercise. My friend gave me a Momordica wine, and use it everyday without changing my diet and activities. My BS is now 120 -130 after meal and 80-90 before meal. I am waiting for myHbA1C results

I inject 70 units of Lantus insulin, swallow 2 capsules of Bitter Melon (900 mg each), 2 capsules of Apple Cider Vinegar at bedtime and in the morning my blood glucose is less than 100 at times. I am trying not to use any insulin.
