Bitter Melon for Diabetes
I am a type 2 diabetic on metformin and prandin. I have started taking bitter melon tea with meals 3 x daily and have seen my sugars drop, so drastically in fact that I went hypoglycemic (from 121 to 41 ). Have had greater drop from 156 to 63. Obviously this works, and works well; I have to adjust my Prandin to make sure I don't have any more hypoglycemic episodes as I do go into seizures. I have noticed the articles on Arnica to control diabetes; my goal is to use as little prescription meds as possible, and was wondering if the bitter melon tea and arnica could be used together safely?Stari on 2007-02-05

How do you make the tea yourself? I purchased bittermelon and want to know how long you boil it for. Any help would be appreciated. Do you eat the actual melon as well?

I have tried both the melons as well as the tea; I had much greater success using just the tea bags which I purchased at an Asian supermarket. I just put one tea bag in a cup of water and drink it with each meal. It dropped my sugar down so quickly I went into hypoglycemia, but after adjusting my medication I now have this under control. There are times when I don't need to take the Prandin at all since the sugar level is around 80. Today I bought some Arnica 30 which I will begin taking this week also.
Hope this is helpful to you.
