Abstract
Morbidity and mortality from diabetes is a serious alarm to carry out an adequate prevention and management. Bitter melon (M. Charantia) is widely available and often consumed in Indonesia. It has been traditionally used in various cultures particularly in managing diabetes. This effect is believed to be due to compounds found in bitter melon that mimic insulin's action, helping to improve glucose uptake and utilization by cells.Downloads
