Karela (Momordica charantia)-is it safe for every diabetic?

          Hindi & urdu name - Karela 

          Botanical name - Momordica charantia 

          English name - Bitter melon, Bitter gourd or bitter squash 

widely grown in Asia it is an edible bitter fruit. Its many varieties differ substantially in the shape and bitterness of the fruit. Also having medicinal values in India it is very commonly used to control Diabetes in many forms-

• Raw fruit juice
• Vegetable with meals
• Dried fruit powder
• Extract of fruit

Because this is a common vegetable fruit every Diabetic takes it without medical advice.But In our clinical practice of last 22 years exclusively on diabetes found that every diabetic is not getting benefit of it instead having other health problems more common is hyperacidity,Burning micturition, bleeding disorders  & many more. so our suggestion is do not take it as medicine to manage  blood sugar without medical advice.
