researches by a team of British doctors have established
that it contains a hypoglycemic or insulin-like
principle, designated as ‘plant-insulin’, which has been
found highly beneficial in lowering the blood and urine
sugar levels. It should, therefore, be included
liberally in the diet of the diabetic. The seeds of
bitter gourd can be added to food in the powdered form.
Diabetics can also use bitter gourd in the form of
decoction by boiling the pieces in water or in the form
of dry powder.

Diabetes
is a result of problems with the pancreatic hormone
insulin. Insulin controls the amount of glucose (sugar)
in the blood and the rate at which the glucose is
absorbed into the cells. The cells need glucose to
produce energy. In people with diabetes, glucose builds
up in the bloodstream instead of being taken into and
used by the cells, leading to hyperglycemia (abnormally
high levels of glucose in the blood). Eventually,
hyperglycemia leads to damaged blood vessels, which in
turn, may cause eye disease, heart disease, peripheral
and autonomic neuropathy (nerve damage in the limbs and
internal organs), and diabetic nephropathy (kidney
disease). The major danger with diabetes, however, is
not the disease itself, but the complications that can
arise if insulin levels are not maintained at a constant
level.
