It is included in Julia's Melabic, but I have read of its claimed benefits previously.The recommendation is 2 tablespoons of juice daily. I bought 2 kerala's from a local Indian shop for 45p. They yielded 3 tbs which I drank after breakfast. I don't take my Metformin in the morning because my BS normally drops to 5-6 by lunchtime. That morning it "dropped" to 7.0. Nevertheless I decided to try Kerala tablets 1000 mg, £6-99 for 60. I decided to take 1 with my evening meal together with 1 Metf. I have been taking 2 Mf. My normal overnight BS is 6.5-7.1. The overnight BS since starting are: in reverse order: 6.4, 6.8, 5.8, 5.7, 6.2, so it could be working.Incidentally, Julia says diabetes is rare in India (because they eat bitter melon (kerala.) A quick google for "kerala diabetes" found that The prevalence of diabetes in the Indian state of Kerala is more than 17%. <a href="http://kerala.gov.in/kercaljan06/p32-33.pdf" target="_blank">http://kerala.gov.in/kercaljan06/p32-33.pdf</a></blockquote>
