[QUOTE="cinnamon, post: 154820, member: 22877"] Glad to hear from you PickledPepper, and the results of the experiment. I think that Frozen dishes of bitter melon (microwaved to piping hot) won't work. I'm still experimenting (i don't mind the bitter taste by now) Because my timing is still erratic (quite busy) and I keep forgetting the time to test (yes, i've done the piercing sporadically for the BS, but i'm due to see the nurse this week) I can't yet reliably share the results. How did you cook the veg? I said i could tolerate the bitter taste, but I've disguised the dishes with very thin diluted spices, either using chinese, japanese, indonesian or thai recipes (also omitting the sugary ingredients) It is not too easy to buy the veg, therefore experimenting with freezing them in portions. Do you think the benefit is removed by this process? Also, I can't understand when I tested BS 3 hours after meal it seems the reading is higher than when I tested BS 2 hours after meal. I would think the sugar (from the carbo etc) would have been diluted more in the gut, and the reading should be lower? I haven't been told to read 1 hour after meal. I will try to test and read 1 hour after meal. Hope it will read much lower! To return to the veg itself; i think it's fine to eat this as part of our varied diet occasionally, but it's not very convenient to buy the veg in a regular basis; it's not economical, and the local supermarkets won't stock them?
