My numbers are constantly around 100-115, I have stopped taking oral meds. and only use 6 units of insulin a day.Now I make smoothies, with bananas, tangerines, grapes, yogurt, and it is much more palatable.1 full melon,about 7" long, and what ever fruit I throw in, the fruit has not effected my numbers.I see a time when I will no longer need insulin.

I have been using Bitter Melon pills or tea since being diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes. It has helped drop my blood sugar up to 30 points. Works very well every time. I am very cautious with it and only use when needed to lower my blood sugar. Tea is very pleasant and works very well, but pills seem to work well too.

Amerimed 600 mg bitter melon is what has worked for me. Tried puritans bitter melon. Puritans did not work well. Please post brand to save everyone time. Just a follow-up. Good luck... Eddie B.

It has been able to help me down from the 350+ range. Now seldom see 200. Started working immediately for me. I do not take any prescriptions. I monitor blood sugar carefully. Now on no sugar, very low carbs. I take 1200 mg of bitter melon in pill form four times a day. I test my blood sugar 4 times per day or more. I started on 1- 450 mg pill at first, three times per day. Slowly increased mg ... Show Full Comment

Now on no sugar, very low carbs. I take 1200 mg of bitter melon in pill form four times a day. I test my blood sugar 4 times per day or more. I started on 1- 450 mg pill at first, three times per day. Slowly increased mg's. Bitter melon has done wonders. Cinnamon did nothing for me. I must be type 1. I'm 6 foot and down to 230 lbs after one month of knowing I was in trouble with my blood sugar. Weight goal is 215 lbs. I think that and modest exercise will help a long way. If you decide to try bitter melon, start slow and monitor blood sugar as you go. Be safe. Good luck to all... Eddie B.

I have been diagnosed diabetic for 4 years. I was using prescribtion drugs without much success then I heard about this vegetable. After the first use my blood sugar drop from about 12 to 8. The only side effect I might have developed was a mild belly ache.
