In either case, diabetes can lead to life threatening situations. It has to be monitored, controlled and the diabetic person needs to be extra vigilant about his/her sugar intake. Timely medicine intake, getting proper exercise and precautions about the food they eat is part and parcel of a diabetic life.
A  lot  has  been  written  lately  about  the  very  beneficial aspects  of  bitter  melon  in  the  treatment  of  diabetes.  As already discussed above, bitter melon has a host of bitter chemicals  in  which,  which  are  hypoglycemic  in  action.  It also  has  at  least  one  substance  that  is  like  the  insulin secreted  by  the  human  pancreatic  glands.  Hence, bitter melon is extremely effective in the treatment of diabetes mellitus.   Doctors   all   over   the   world   prescribe   having either   bitter  melon   juice   early   in   the   morning   or   to include it in some other fashion in the daily diet.

Here is a simple and quick way to make bitter gourd juice for diabetes at home:

1. Take fresh bitter gourd and get a few lemons as well. To make the juice more effective, add a little bit of turmeric.
2. Wash the bitter gourd and peel its top skin. If it does not bother, you can simply let it be. Many people do not skin or peel the top skin away.
3.Cut the karela into fine pieces and apply salt properly by rubbing it with turmeric. Keep it for some time, and then extract the bitter juice out of it.
4.Once you see the water strained out of the bitter gourd, you can then crush the pieces in the mixer properly.
5.Sieve it if you want. Just have the full juice with the fiber after adding a little bit of fresh lemon juice for taste and tangy flavor.
