Effect of Momordica charantia, a bitter vegetable popularly known as Karolla, on fasting and post prandial (2 hours after 75 gm oral glucose intake) serum glucose levels were studied in 100 cases of moderate non-insulin dependent diabetic subjects. Drinking of the aqueous homogenized suspension of the vegetable pulp led to significant reduction (p < 0.001) of both fasting and post-prandial serum glucose levels. This hypoglycaemic action was observed in 86 (86%) cases. Five cases (5%) showed lowering of fasting serum glucose only.
对100例中度非胰岛素依赖型糖尿病患者研究了苦瓜（一种俗称卡罗拉的苦味蔬菜）对空腹及餐后（口服75克葡萄糖2小时后）血糖水平的影响。饮用蔬菜果肉的水匀浆悬浮液导致空腹及餐后血糖水平显著降低（p<0.001）。86例（86%）出现这种降血糖作用。5例（5%）仅空腹血糖降低。
