Hypoglycemic effect of bitter melon compared with metformin in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients.

CONCLUSIONS:
Bitter melon had a modest hypoglycemic effect and significantly reduced fructosamine levels from baseline among patients with type 2 diabetes who received 2,000 mg/day. However, the hypoglycemic effect of bitter melon was less than metformin 1,000 mg/day.
