That is one of the worst occupations I know for ones health. No excercise and food at most truck stops is very unhealthy. I quit driving truck when I discovered I have diabetes. It's tough, but one has to find a more healthy lifestyle. I noticed the post by the wife of the truck driver… That is one of the worst occupations I know for ones health.

It works. Good to lower blood sugar level. Unfortunately my frieng only have few plants. I heard that it is manufactured in US and Mexico but the cost for shipping is more than the powder itself. Nopal plant is also in the chinese medicine studies. Bitter melon, I heard is also good for lower sugar level. I hope that we can use this natural herbs for our good health.

I started growing this rather invasive vine last summer and I started cooking with the fruit. Much to my amazement, my A-1c had dropped by a full point after 3 months. I, of course have added exercise to my daily habits and fill my snacks with almonds, fruits and veggies. The bitter melon is almost addictive and I now crave the taste. I love to eat salmon with fresh roasted bitter melon and onions smothering the top. It's about time we get back to our "roots" (pardon the pun) and rely on our own backyards for solutions!

The bitter melon is almost addictive and I now crave the taste. I love to eat salmon with fresh roasted bitter melon and onions smothering the top. It’s about time we get back to our “roots” (pardon the pun) and rely on our own backyards for solutions! Keep up the good work … spreading the word! Dave

Yes, the Bitter gourd (Karela in hindi) a native Indian sub continent vegetable is a common vegetable in any Indian home, known for its medicinal properties in tackling dibetes. Apart from this vegetable there are other two fruits namely Jamun (indian black berry) & Methi (fenugreek seeds. Try these three and a morning brisk walk for 40-45 minutes. Very effective in controling the sugar levels, as I have personally benifited Regards Hi all,

Yes, it is perfectly fine to mix it with water or juice. Just make sure you remove the seeds, especially if you are pregnant. You can try it with salad dressings for your salad in case you get tired of the direct intake from the blender. Another convenient way is to take the pill form of bitter melon. What you need to look for is the % (percentage) of "Bitter Principles" at the back of the label. The higher the percentage concentration, the greater chances of glucose regulation.

You appeared to have Type 2 Diabetes and here is what you need to do, take Bitter Mellon juice. Go to any Indian or Pakistani, Afghani grocer store they sell em. Take about 3 to 4 pieces cut em in half long, remove the seeds and extract juice in the juicer. 4 oz minimum before meal twice a day. No bread or white rice and definitely no processed or fried foods, no sugar products. You may be able to eat fruits such as Mango, Water Mellon, Orange etc, etc. A little bit of everything make sure do not load up a lot. As long as you avoid white rice and bread your blood sugar will be approx 100 or less with in minutes after taking the meal. Bitter Mellon also kills stomach worms, kills cancer cells, HIV cells, increases blood circulation, helps men with Impotancy and lower blood pressure. If Bitter Mellon is not available you may use Green Beans (String Beans) and Brussels Sprouts or Green Beans and Jerusalem Artichoke juice em at least 10 oz every morning empty stomach. Juice equally each vegetable. Hey SIVA you are talking about A1C blood test but 150 – 200 blood sugar count using self home blood sugar testing kit for everyday blood sugar level testing.
