It seems to be an Ayurvedic tablet. In the initial days of my D, I used to grind one small bitter gourd with water and have it in the morning, but now switched on to a homeo medicine made with jamun which gives the same effect as bitter gourd minus the bitterness.

Hi, new here! I am not diabetic, but have been diagnosed with insulin resistance (insulin and blood glucose levels within range, but close to upper normal range).

Does it have to be juice, or are pills OK?

Hi, the article is very informative, thanx. My mother is a diabetic patient and she has been prescribed to take insulin and a diabetic tablet. She was told by a person to eat raw BITTER GOURD 100gm in the morning and 100gm in the evening. If she eats raw BITTER GOURD accordingly, should she also take insulin & tablet?
